Version 1.0.0 has been completely re-written from the ground up. It takes the inspiration from the original release, and boils it down into a focused, stable library.
Stuff that's new:
- Speed (and lots of it) — constructors now create objects 10x faster than the original version.
- Major size reduction — the minified version is only ~9kb (down from ~19kb).
- Zero dependencies (the initial version depended on lodash).
- Full IE8 support (previously was only IE9 and up).
- Mixins — for shared behavior between objects (previously referred to as middleware).
- Extensions — for extending Keylime's syntax (previously referred to as plugins).
- Events — for hooking into the object creation cycle.
Stuff that's been removed:
- Attribute modifiers — extensions should be used instead to create special types of attributes.
- Inheritance APIs — mixins should be used instead to abstract common behavior.
- Constructors can't be called without the
newkeyword. You can useconstructor.create()instead.
