Defclass

Since squint v0.1.15 is it possible to define JavaScript classes, using the defclass syntax. Here is an example that should show most of what is possible. The syntax is inspired by shadow-cljs.

(ns my-class
  (:require [squint.core :refer [defclass]]))

(defclass class-1
  (field -x)
  (field -y :dude) ;; default
  (constructor [this x] (set! -x x))

  Object
  (get-name-separator [_] (str "-" -x)))

(defclass Class2
  (extends class-1)
  (field -y 1)
  (constructor [_ x y]
               (super (+ x y -y)))

  Object
  (dude [_]
        (str -y (super.get-name-separator)))

  (toString [this] (str "<<<<" (.dude this) ">>>>") ))

(def c (new Class2 1 2))
