This package provides a set of language helpers, utility functions, and classes for writing TypeScript applications. It includes APIs for feature detection, asynchronous and streaming operations, basic event handling, and making HTTP requests.
This package is currently in Alpha with a initial stable release scheduled for later this year. You can download the Alpha by cloning or downloading this repository.
To access modules use after cloning or downloading the repository, you can reference it by:
import * as lang from 'src/lang'; // this imports all exports of the module as the object lang
import { lateBind, mixin } from 'src/lang'; // this imports lateBind and mixin from the moduleOnce downloaded, you can compile the TypesScript files by first installing the project dependencies with:
npm install
The by running this command:
grunt dev
This will run the grunt 'dev' task.
Using the latest Web technologies isn't always as straightforward as developers would like due to differing support
across platforms. dojo-core/has provides a simple feature detection API that makes it easy to
detect which platforms support which features.
The core package provides modules offering language utilities. Some of these are heavily based on methods in the ES2015 proposal; others are additional APIs for commonly-performed tasks.
The dojo-core/array module contains analogues to some of the ES2015 Array APIs.
The dojo-core/lang module contains various utility functions for tasks such as copying objects
and creating late-bound or partially applied functions.
The dojo-core/math module contains analogues to a number of ES2015 APIs, including many trigonometric and logarithmic
functions.
The dojo-core/string module contains analogues to the some of the ES2015 String APIs.
The dojo-core/UrlSearchParams class can be used to parse and generate URL query strings.
The dojo-core/on module contains methods to handle events across types of listeners. It also includes methods to handle different event use cases including only firing
once and pauseable events.
The dojo-core/request module contains methods to simplify making http requests. It can handle
making requests in both node and the browser through the same methods.
The dojo-core/Promise class is an implementation of the ES2015 Promise API that also includes static state
inspection and a finally method for cleanup actions.
dojo-core/async contains a number of classes and utility modules to simplify working with asynchronous operations.
The dojo-core/async/Task class is an extension of dojo-core/Promise that provides cancelation support.
The dojo-core/Map class is an implementation of the ES2015 Map specification
without iterators for use in older browsers.
The dojo-core/WeakMap class is an implementation of the ES2015 WeakMap specification
without iterators for use in older browsers. The main difference between WeakMap and Map
is that WeakMap's keys can only be objects and that the store has a weak reference
to the key/value pair. This allows for the garbage collector to remove pairs.
Look at Map for more information on how to use WeakMap.
