fluentnode/src/Object.litcoffee

Fluent apis for node (based on the concepts used in C#'s FluentSharp

These Object prototypes have to be written using Object.defineProperty so that we can set the
enumerable value to false (otherwise 'for item of xyz' would include these methods)

dependencies

    require './fs'

todo: add check for already mapped methods. once that is done we should be able to add this method safely


@.**str**

Returns the ```toString``` result of the @ object

    Object.defineProperty Object.prototype, 'str',
        enumerable  : false,
        writable    : true,
        value: ->
            return @.toString()


@.**json_Str**

Returns the JSON.stringify of the @ object

    Object.defineProperty Object.prototype, 'json_Str',
        enumerable  : false,
        writable    : true,
        value: ->
            return JSON.stringify(@)


@.**json_Pretty**

twin method: json_pretty (legacy)

    Object.defineProperty Object.prototype, 'json_Pretty',
        enumerable  : false,
        writable    : true,
        value: ->
            return JSON.stringify(@,null,'  ')

    Object.defineProperty Object.prototype, 'json_pretty',enumerable  : false, writable    : true, value: Object::json_Pretty


**json_Inspect**

Returns a json representation of @ (using require('util').inspect which supports recursive objects)

twin method: json_pretty (legacy)

    Object.defineProperty Object.prototype, 'json_Inspect',
        enumerable  : false,
        writable    : true,
        value: ->
            return require('util').inspect(@)

    Object.defineProperty Object.prototype, 'json_inspect',enumerable  : false, writable    : true, value: Object::json_Inspect

**keys**

    Object.defineProperty Object.prototype, 'keys',
        enumerable  : false,
        writable    : true,
        value: ->
            return (key for own key of @)

**keys_All**

    Object.defineProperty Object.prototype, 'keys_All',
        enumerable  : false,
        writable    : true,
        value: ->
            return (key for key of @)


**values**

    Object.defineProperty Object.prototype, 'values',
        enumerable  : false,
        writable    : true,
        value: ->
            return (@[key] for own key of @)

**call_Function**

    Object.defineProperty Object.prototype, 'call_Function',
        enumerable  : false,
        writable    : true,
        value: (method, params...)->
            callParams = [@]
            callParams.push param for param in params
            return method.apply(null,callParams)


@.load_Json target

    Object.defineProperty Object.prototype, 'load_Json',
        enumerable  : false,
        writable    : true,
        value: ()->
            JSON.parse(@.file_Contents())


@.save_Json target

    Object.defineProperty Object.prototype, 'save_Json',
        enumerable  : false,
        writable    : true,
        value: (target)->
            data = JSON.stringify(@,null,'  ')
            return data.saveAs(target)
**repl_Me**

    Object.defineProperty Object.prototype, 'repl_Me',
        enumerable  : false,
        writable    : true,
        value: (onExit)->
            repl = require('repl')
            replServer = repl.start {prompt: '[fluentnode] repl> '}
            replServer.context.that = @
            replServer.context.replServer = replServer
            replServer.on 'exit', ->
              onExit()
            replServer
