Static Class APE

deferError

deferError(error)

Throws the error in a setTimeout 1ms. Deferred errors are useful for Event Notification systems, Animation, and testing.

Parameters:
Error error - that occurred.

extend

extend(subclass, superclass, mixin)

Prototype inheritance.

Parameters:
Object subclass
Object superclass
Object mixin - If present, mixin's own properties are copied to receiver using APE.mixin(subclass.prototoype, superclass.prototype).

getById

 getById(el)

Creational method meant for being cross-cut. getById must be assigned to a function constructor that accepts an HTMLElement's id for its first argument.

Parameters:
HTMLElement el - An element that has an id.

Returns:

new this(id [,args...])

getByNode

 getByNode(el)

Creational method meant for being cross-cut. Uses APE.newApply to create

Parameters:
HTMLElement el - An element. If el does not have an ID, then an ID will be automatically generated, based on the constructor's (this) identifier, or, If this is anonymous, "APE".

Returns:
{new this(el [,args...])}

getFunctionName

getFunctionName(fun)

Tries to get a name of a function object, returns "" if anonymous.

Parameters:
fun

mixin

Object mixin(r, s)

Shallow copy of properties; does not look up prototype chain. Copies all properties in s to r, using hasOwnProperty.

Parameters:
Object r - the receiver of properties.
Object s - the supplier of properties. Accounts for JScript DontEnum bug for valueOf and toString.

Returns:
Object r the receiver.

namespace

Package namespace(s)

creates a namespace split on "." does not automatically add APE to the front of the chain, as YUI does.

Parameters:
String s - the namespace. "foo.bar" would create a namespace foo.bar, but only if that namespace did not exist.

Returns:
Package the namespace.

newApply

newApply(fun, args)

Parameters:
Function fun - constructor to be invoked.
Array args - arguments to pass to the constructor. Instantiates a constructor and uses apply().

toString
