Shuriken

Pointy javascript namespace helpers and stuff

Shuriken is a lightweight toolset for Javascript, written in coffeescript that provides a lightweight implementation of namespaces and a few other things (e.g. mixins) that I've found have simplified structured javascript development.

Using it is as simple as including the shuriken.js in your app and writing your code:

// declare BHM as a root namespace.
var BHM = Shuriken.as('BHM');

// Should print out true.
console.log(BHM instanceof Shuriken.Namespace);

BHM.withNS('Something', function(ns) {

  ns.hello = true;

  ns.sayHello = function() {
    if(ns.hello) console.log("Hello there!");
  };

  ns.setup = function() {
    ns.sayHello();
  };

});

// On document load, unless BHM.autosetup is false,
// BHM.Something.setup() will be automatically called.
// Also,
BHM.Something.sayHello();
// will say hello manually. I'm sure you get the picture by now.
