# defclass

Simple classical inheritance that is a whopping ten lines. Its [Augment](http://github.com/javascript/augment) without the augment.

In the words of Aadit Shah

> No premature optimization. No need to read the documentation of libraries like ClassManager. I can directly focus on the task at hand and optimize those things that really need optimization.

## Usage

```js

const defclass = require('defclass');

const Beer = defclass({

  constructor: function (type) {

    this.type = type;

    this.count = 100;

    this.temp = 'cold';

  },

  getADrink: function () {

    --this.count;

    console.log(`Here's a ${this.temp} ${this.type}!`);

  }

});

const favBeer = new Beer('Spotted Cow');

favBeer.getADrink(); // Here's a cold Spotted Cow!

```

If you need to inherit from another class use `extend`.

```js

const GrabAnother = defclass.extend(Beer, {

  sing: function () {

    console.log(`${this.count} bottles of ${this.temp} ${this.type}'s on the wall.`);

  }

});

const makeMeDance = new GrabAnother(`John's White Ale`);

makeMeDance.getADrink(); // Here's a John's White Ale!

makeMeDance.sing(); // 99 bottles of cold John's White Ale's on the wall.

```
