I would like to override a Javascript built-in function with a new version that calls the original (similarly to overriding a method on a class with a version that calls
How to do simple classical inheritance in Javascript:
SuperClass.call(this) // inherit from SuperClass (multiple inheritance yes)
How to override functions:
this.myFunction = this.myFunction.override(
function(){
this.superFunction(); // call the overridden function
}
);
The override function is created like this:
Function.prototype.override = function(func)
{
var superFunction = this;
return function()
{
this.superFunction = superFunction;
return func.apply(this,arguments);
};
};
Works with multiple arguments.
Fails when trying to override undefined or nonfunctions.
Makes "superFunction" a "reserved" word :-)
