INTRODUCTION

This is a Squeak like implementation of the class system in JavaScript. It supports inheritance of classes, access to superclass methods and class-side methods.

GETTING STARTED

Foo = Class({
	superClass: Bar,

	instanceVariables: ['a', 'b', 'c'],

	instanceMethods: {
		// initalize method is called after instanciation
		initialize: function() {
			alert('foobar');
		},
		// further methods
	},

	classVariables: ['d', 'e', 'f'],

	classMethods: {
		name: function() {
			aBlock = block(function() { nonLocalReturn("This is a non local return"); });
			aBlock();
			
			// this part should never be executed
			return 'Foo';
		}
	}
});

inst = Foo._new()

Every parameter is optional. To get more familiar, please try out the examples.
