JS对象链式调用方法

ar obj = {
    test : function(){ 
        alert("Y"); 
        return this; 
    },
    test2 : function(){ 
        alert("2");

obj.test().test2(); // And so on since it returns this

lua OOP实现

--

-- Class helper routines

--

-- Instantiates a class

local function _instantiate(class, ...)

    local inst = setmetatable({__class=class}, {__index = class})

    if inst.__init__ then

        inst:__init__(...)

--- Create a Class object (Python-style object model).

-- The class object can be instantiated by calling itself.

-- Any class functions or shared parameters can be attached to this object.

-- Attaching a table to the class object makes this table shared between

-- all instances of this class. For object parameters use the __init__ function.

-- Classes can inherit member functions and values from a base class.

-- Class can be instantiated by calling them. All parameters will be passed

-- to the __init__ function of this class - if such a function exists.

-- The __init__ function must be used to set any object parameters that are not shared

-- with other objects of this class. Any return values will be ignored.

-- @param base The base class to inherit from (optional)

-- @return A class object

-- @see instanceof

-- @see clone

function class(base)

    -- __parent 属性缓存父类，便于子类索引父类方法

    return setmetatable({__parent = base}, {

        __call = _instantiate,

        __index = base

    })

end

 

 

--- Test whether the given object is an instance of the given class.

-- @param object Object instance

-- @param class Class object to test against

-- @return Boolean indicating whether the object is an instance

-- @see class

-- @see clone
