Instantiatable_class
Fields:
- instance defines wether the object is an instance
- base_class only present for instances: the class from which this instance originates
- parent_class the class from which this class was inherited from
Methods
- instantiatable_class:inherit (def)
-
creates a new base class. Calls all constructors in the chain with def.instance=true
Parameters:
- def the table containing a new definition (where the class calling the method is the parent). The content of the definition will override the fields for it's children.
Returns:
-
def a new base class
- instantiatable_class:construct ()
- construct every parent constructor is called in order of inheritance, this is used to make changes to the child table. In self you will find base_class defining what class it is from, and the bool instance indicating (shocking) wether it is an instance.
- instantiatable_class:new ()
-
creates an instance of the base class. Calls all constructors in the chain with def.instance=true
Returns:
-
def a new instance of the class.
