Plugin that adds a namespace getter to a Base instance.
Install with npm:
$ npm install base-namespace --savevar namespace = require('base-namespace');
var Base = require('base');
var base = new Base();
base.use(namespace());Default
By default, namespace uses the app._name property, which is uses the constructor name (set in base):
console.log(base.namespace);
//=> 'base'Alias
If alias is defined, it will be used instead of app._name:
base.alias = 'foo';
console.log(base.namespace);
//=> 'foo'Parent namespace
If a parent instance is defined, namespace is created from parent.namespace + alias:
var foo = new Base();
foo.alias = 'whatever';
base.parent = foo;
base.alias = 'foo';
console.log(base.namespace);
//=> 'whatever.foo'Multiple ancestors
When an app has multiple ancestors, its namespace might look something like this:
var foo = new Base();
foo.alias = 'foo';
var bar = new Base();
bar.alias = 'bar';
bar.parent = foo;
var baz = new Base();
baz.alias = 'baz';
baz.parent = bar;
var qux = new Base();
qux.alias = 'qux';
qux.parent = baz;
console.log(qux.namespace);
//=> 'foo.bar.baz.qux'You might also be interested in these projects:
