Is it possible to give javascript partial class behavior like C# or monkey patching like Ruby does?

Question

The idea behind partial classes is that you can group certain functions together. The best example of this in C# is putting control definitions in one file and the event han

Answer 1

// file 1

function augment() {
    this.monkey = "monkey";
}

// file 2

function augmentMore() {
    this.patch = "patch";
}

// file 3

var o = {};
augment.call(o);
augmentMore.call(o);
console.log(o.monkey + o.patch);

Monkey patching works. partial classes can work by convention. For example consider this convention.

// file main
function SomeObject() {
    for (var i = 0, ii = SomeObject.Partial.length; i < ii; i++) {
         SomeObject.Partial[i].apply(this, arguments);
    }
}

SomeObject.Partial.SomeName = function() {
   ...
}

// file extra
SomeObject.Partial.SomeOtherName = function() {
   ...
}

JavaScript is surprisingly powerful. Was there a specific example you were looking for?
