over

JavaScript function overloading framework.

Installation

$ npm install over

Quick Examples

var over = require('over');

var myfn = over([
  [over.string, function (str) { console.log('got a string' + str); }],
  [over.string, over.numberOptionalWithDefault(5), over.callbackOptional, function (str, number, callback) {
    console.log('got a string and a number and a callback');
    callback(str, number);
  }],
  function() {
    // default function if nothing else matches
  }
]);

Builtin Test functions

  • func
  • funcOptional
  • funcOptionalWithDefault
  • callbackOptional // Will return an empty function of parameter is not given
  • string
  • stringOptional
  • stringOptionalWithDefault
  • number
  • numberOptional
  • numberOptionalWithDefault
  • array
  • arrayOptional
  • arrayOptionalWithDefault
  • object
  • objectOptional
  • objectOptionalWithDefault

The built in optional functions with a suffix of "WithDefault" take a default value as well which will be used if it is not passed in.

var myfn = over([
  [over.stringOptionalWithDefault('default value'), function (str) { console.log('got a string' + str); }],
]);

Write your own test functions

Simple optional test

function greaterThan5Optional(arg) {
  return arg > 5;
}
greaterThan5Optional.optional = true; // mark it as an optional parameter

var myfn = over([
  [greaterThan5Optional, function (v) { console.log('got a value' + v); }]
]);

Optional test with default

function greaterThan5OptionalWithDefault(def) {
  return function greaterThan5OptionalWithDefault2(arg) {
    if (arg === undefined) {
      return { defaultValue: def };
    }
    return arg > 5;
  }
}
greaterThan5OptionalWithDefault.optional = true; // mark it as an optional parameter

var myfn = over([
  [greaterThan5OptionalWithDefault, function (v) { console.log('got a value' + v); }]
]);
