Don't Stop

A funny tool to call on an object via a semantic chain of unlimited depth.

Example

const dontStop = require("dontStop").default;

const I = dontStop("I");

I.am.student = true;
I.am.developer = true;
I.want.to.be.a.scientist = () => { // 
    // plan to be a scientist
};
I.want.money = () => {
    // how to get money
};
I.want.health = () => {
    // how to get health
};
I.have.hair = true;
I.have.job = true;
I.have.lunch = () => {
    // how do I have lunch
};
I.have.lunch.at.where = "company dining room";
I.have.lunch.at.when = "12:00"; 
I.have.assets = {
    computer: 1,
    laptop: 1,
    cup: 4,
    bag: 1,
    // ...
}

// check the 'name' property
console.log(I.have.name); // => 'I.have' (because it's auto-generated object)
console.log(I.have.hair.name); // => undefined (because it's a user-defined value)
console.log(I.have.lunch.name) // => 'I.have.lunch' (bacause it's assigned function)
console.log(I.have.assets.name) // => undefined (because it's a user-defined value)

API

• dontStop(name: string): DontStopProxy
• dontStop<T extends Function>(target: T, name?: string): T & DontStopProxy
• dontStop<T = object>(target: T, name: string): T & DontStopProxy This function returns an object (or a function when target is a function) that implements the interface DontStopProxy, which allows you, for semantic purpose, chaining properties with unlimited depth, even they hasn't been defined.
  • name Sets the top level name of the chain, used for prefixing property names. When passing target a named function or an object with name property, this argument is not necessary.
• DontStopProxy.name This read-only property returns the name of the current reference property (only if the property is set function, or is auto-generated).
• DontStopProxy.valueOf() This method returns the primitive value of the current reference property (since you will always get a new proxy if the property has never assigned a value).
• DontStopProxy.someProp = someFunction If you assign a function to a property, which is not original set in target, the function will be automatically wrapped by dontStop as DontStopProxy, so that it both can be invoked and be chained.
