#Chop ?

I <3 Backbone object model https://gist.github.com/2287018, but sometimes i need it without Backbone. Then i've created Chop, an object model Backbone-flavored.

I've cribbed the Backbone object model ;)

#How to ?

##Class , constructor & static members

var Human = Chop.extend({ //instance members
name : "John Doe",
constructor : function (name) {
if(name) this.name = name;
Human.incrementCounter();
},
hello : function () {
console.log("Hello i am ", this.name);
}
},{ //class members
counter : 0,
getCounter : function () { return Human.counter; },
incrementCounter : function () { Human.counter+=1; }
});

##Inheritance & super

var Hero = Human.extend({
constructor : function (name, nickName) {
Hero.__super__.constructor.call(this, name);
this.nickName = nickName;
},
hello : function () {
Hero.__super__.hello.call(this);
console.log("My Hero name is", this.nickName);
}
});

##Use it with html

<script src="chop.js"></script>

##Run it

var john = new Human();
var bob = new Human("Bob Morane");
john.hello();
bob.hello();
console.log(Human.getCounter(), " Humans");
var clark = new Hero("Clark Kent", "Super Man");
console.log(Human.getCounter(), " Humans");
clark.hello();

###Result

Hello i am John Doe
Hello i am Bob Morane
2 ' Humans'
3 ' Humans'
Hello i am Clark Kent
My Hero name is Super Man

##Use it with NodeJS

var Chop = require('./chop');
