# Generator
23+
24+
An easy to use prototypal inheritance model.
25+
26+
### Install:
27+
```
28+
$ npm install generate-js
29+
```
30+
31+
<a name="generate"></a>
32+
## Generator.generate(create)
33+
34+
* *create* `Function` Constructor that with inherit form [Generation](#class-generation).
35+
* *return*: `Constructor` The inputed `create` function.
36+
37+
Returns a new [Generation](#class-generation) that inherits from [Generation](#class-generation).
38+
39+
Example:
40+
```javascript
41+
var Generator = require('generate-js/new');
42+
43+
var Person = Generator.generate(
44+
/* create method */
45+
function Person(name, age, sex) {
46+
this.name = name || 'no-name';
47+
this.age = age || 0;
48+
this.sex = sex || 'unknown';
49+
}
50+
);
51+
```
52+
53+
<a name="is-generator"></a>
54+
## Generator.isGenerator(test)
55+
56+
* *test* `Object` An Object to be tested.
57+
* *return*: `Boolean` `true` or `false`.
58+
59+
Returns `true` if *test* object inherits from [Generation](#class-generation), `false` otherwise.
60+
61+
<a name="to-generator"></a>
62+
## Generator.toGenerator(constructor, create)
63+
64+
* *constructor* `Function` An constructor to be generatorized.
65+
* *create* `Function` Constructor that with inherit form [Generation](#class-generation) and *constructor*.
66+
* *return*: `Constructor` The inputed `create` function.
67+
68+
Returns a new [Generation](#class-generation) that inherits from [Generation](#class-generation) and *constructor*.
69+
70+
*NOTE*: Some native constructors can *NOT* be generatorized.
71+
72+
Example:
73+
```javascript
74+
// generatorize NodeJS' EventEmitter
75+
var Generator = require('generate-js/new'),
76+
events = require('events');
77+
78+
var EventEmitter = Generator.toGenerator(events.EventEmitter, function EventEmitter() {
79+
events.EventEmitter.call(this); //call the super constructor
80+
});
81+
82+
// new EventEmitter() same as new events.EventEmitter();
83+
84+
// new generators can inherit all the abilities of EventEmitter like so.
85+
var MyNewGenerator = EventEmitter.generate(
86+
/* create method */
87+
function MyNewGenerator() {
88+
EventEmitter.call(this); //call the super constructor
89+
90+
// your code
91+
}
92+
);
93+
94+
```
95+
96+
<a name="class-generation"></a>
97+
## Class: Generation
98+
99+

100+
101+
<a name="generation-create"></a>
102+
## new Generation()
103+
104+
* *return*: `Creation` A new [Creation](#class-creation) that is an instance of *this* [Generation](#generation).
105+
106+
Creates a new [Creation](#class-creation) that is an instance of *this* [Generation](#generation).
107+
108+
Example:
109+
```javascript
110+
var jim = new Person('Jim', 10, 'male');
111+
112+
jim.name // 'Jim'
113+
jim.age // 10
114+
jim.sex // 'male'
115+
116+
jim.sayHello(); // prints out: 'Hello, my name is Jim. What is yours?'
117+
jim.sayBye(); // prints out: 'Goodbye.'
118+
119+
```
