2.0.0

2.0.0

Features

• Can now pass in a config option when extending a class. Any properties of the config option will be used as default values for that class and its descendants.
• The default lifecycle for factories registered against a class can now be configured using the defaultLifecycle option.
• Methods option has been added (which replaces the prototype option from v1).
• Properties option has been added, allowing you to predefine getters, setters, and watchers on any instance properties.
• the bindToInstance option can now accept a nested property name, i.e. bindToInstance : 'foo.bah'
• Node-specific code has been isolated so the core jpex module can be included in any webpack/browserify build. (see depcrecation of jpex-web below)
• Added a pre-compiled build of Jpex at jpex/dist/jpex.js and jpex/dist/jpex.min.js
• Default factories ($timeout, $promise, etc.) have been separated from the core module. They now must be installed separately from the jpex-defaults, jpex-node, and jpex-web packages.
• The $resolve method is now available as a static method on every class, so dependencies can be resolved with Class.$resolve(name). This allows for Jpex to be used as a container rather than forcing the class instantiation pattern.
• $resolve can be called with an array of dependencies to resolve instead of just one.
• Cached factories (i.e. with a class or application lifecycle) can be cleared with Class.$clearCache().
• Added decorators that allow a factory to be altered before being resolved. Can be registered like normal factories i.e. Class.register.decorator(name, fn)
• A complete plugin API has been created that allows plugins to hook into a number of lifecycle events.

Breaking Changes

• The prototype option has been replaced with methods
• The jpex-web version of Jpex has been deprecated. Instead, Jpex can be required'd with webpack/browserify, or a web-safe js file can be found at jpex/dist/jpex.js/
• Internal variables have been renamed. e.g. Class._factories is now Class.$$factories.
• Default factories ($timeout, $promise, etc.) have been separated from the core module. They now must be installed separately from the jpex-defaults, jpex-node, and jpex-web packages.
• After deprecating its use in v1.3.0, the singleton option has been removed from factory registration. Class.register.factory(name, fn, true/false) should now be written as Class.register.factory(name, fn).lifecycle.application()
• Following depcrecation in v1.4.0, the static methods Typeof and Copy have been removed.
• Factory registration methods have been renamed to camelCase: Jpex.Register.Factory becomes Jpex.register.factory, for example.
• Interfaces have been completely removed from the module. This was an experimental feature that in the end was more overhead than it was worth.
• A number of spurious factory types have been removed: enum, errorType, file, folder, interface, nodeModule - although the nodeModule factory type is still available via the jpex-node package as Class.register.node_module.
• Ancestoral dependencies have been removed so depending on ["^someParentFactory"] will no longer work. The equivalent can now be achieved with decorators.
