Editing CoffeeScript Inheritance vs augment This edit will create a new revision. Your details (optional) Name Email (won’t be displayed; might be used for Gravatar) URL Test case details Title * Published (uncheck if you want to fiddle around before making the page public) Description (in case you feel further explanation is needed)(Markdown syntax is allowed) CoffeeScript is understandably better than `augment` when it comes to a [single class without inheritance](http://jsperf.com/coffeescript-vs-augment "CoffeeScript vs augment · jsPerf"), but how much faster is `augment` when there's inheritance? Are you a spammer? (just answer the question) Preparation code Preparation code HTML (this will be inserted in the <body> of a valid HTML5 document in standards mode) (useful when testing DOM operations or including libraries) <script src="https://raw.github.com/javascript/augment/master/augment.js"></script> <script> var __hasProp = {}.hasOwnProperty, __extends = function(child, parent) { for (var key in parent) { if (__hasProp.call(parent, key)) child[key] = parent[key]; } function ctor() { this.constructor = child; } ctor.prototype = parent.prototype; child.prototype = new ctor(); child.__super__ = parent.prototype; return child; }; </script> Include JavaScript libraries as follows: <script src="//cdn.ext/library.js"></script> Define setup for all tests (variables, functions, arrays or other objects that will be used in the tests) (runs before each clocked test loop, outside of the timed code region) (e.g. define local test variables, reset global variables, clear canvas, etc.) (see FAQ) Define teardown for all tests (runs after each clocked test loop, outside of the timed code region) (see FAQ) Code snippets to compare Test 1 Title Async (check if this is an asynchronous test) Code var Rectangle = (function() { function Rectangle(width, height) { this.width = width; this.height = height; } Rectangle.prototype.area = function() { return this.width * this.height; }; return Rectangle; })(); var Square = (function(_super) { __extends(Square, _super); function Square(side) { Square.__super__.constructor.call(this, side); } return Square; })(Rectangle); var square = new Square(5); square.area(); Test 2 Title Async (check if this is an asynchronous test) Code var Rectangle = Object.augment(function () { this.area = function () { return this.width * this.height; }; return Rectangle; function Rectangle(width, height) { this.height = height; this.width = width; } }); var Square = Rectangle.augment(function (Rectangle) { return Square; function Square(side) { Rectangle.call(this, side, side); } }); var square = new Square(5); square.area();
