reopenClasspublic
Augments a constructor's own properties and functions:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | MyObject = Ember.Object.extend({ name: 'an object'});MyObject.reopenClass({ canBuild: false});MyObject.canBuild; // falseo = MyObject.create(); |
In other words, this creates static properties and functions for the class. These are only available on the class and not on any instance of that class.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 | App.Person = Ember.Object.extend({ name : "", sayHello : function() { alert("Hello. My name is " + this.get('name')); }});App.Person.reopenClass({ species : "Homo sapiens", createPerson: function(newPersonsName){ return App.Person.create({ name:newPersonsName }); }});var tom = App.Person.create({ name : "Tom Dale"});var yehuda = App.Person.createPerson("Yehuda Katz");tom.sayHello(); // "Hello. My name is Tom Dale"yehuda.sayHello(); // "Hello. My name is Yehuda Katz"alert(App.Person.species); // "Homo sapiens" |
Note that species and createPerson are not valid on the tom and yehuda variables. They are only valid on App.Person.
