SnowBlower and Object Composition

I'm going to talk about this "library" and why it's very useful. It takes a lot of the compositional techniques of objects and makes it really fun.

Here's an example of how to use SnowBlower.


It takes all the functions and objects that you pass to it, and either executes it in the context of your new object, or mixes it into your new object. If you need polyfills for your environment, just define Array.prototype.reduce, Object.create, and replace the Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty function to reflect your environment.

It's designed to be small and SnowBlower assumes you have all the pieces and closures that define your object up front. If you need to compose factories, you can just create a function that does it for you.


This is a DRY method of reusing functions you have already defined to compose objects. The sky is the limit! Just thought I would share this compositional technique with you.

~function(){console.log('josh')}();
