Leonardo,
I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you asking what "prototype" means
in JavaScript? If that is what you are asking, then the quickie answer
is that Javascript uses template-based inheritance. Every JS Object has
a prototype property pointing to the instance that this JS Object will
delegate to. Some JS frameworks simulate class-based inheritance by
creating an instance representing a class and then making that instance
the prototype of all of the instances of that "class". Similarly a
"subclass" would have it's superclass as its prototype.
Putting this together:
function TrPanelPopup()
{
//define object properties
this._content = false;
this._trigger = false;
this._centered = false;
this._modal = false;
this._visible = false;
}
Is a constructor.
new TrPanelPopup() would create an instance of TrPanelPopup.
TrPanelPopup.prototype.getContent = function()
Is assigning the getContent() function to the prototype of instances
created through new TrPanelPopup(). getContent() ends up being similar
to an instance method.
You can also create something like a static method, like so:
TrPanelPopup.staticGetContent = function()
Notice the lack of the prototype. Callers would refer to this method
(var myContent = TrPanelPopup.staticGetContent()) directly rather than
through an instance:
var thePopup = new TrPanelPopup();
var theContent = thePopup.getContent();

It is the same we use in myfaces core to generate javascript doc. The
good news is it works. We could add it as a report to generate it when
the site is build or include it as a jar.
But before do that, we need to add the proper jsdoc annotations.
Unfortunately, I get lost in the pattern used to annotate classes.
Does anybody knows which are the used code conventions in that part?.
For example in TrPanelPopup for example:
function TrPanelPopup()
{
//define object properties
this._content = false;
this._trigger = false;
this._centered = false;
this._modal = false;
this._visible = false;
}
TrPanelPopup.prototype.getContent = function()
What is prototype? the body of the class?.
I think with the work already done to generate the jsdoc in myfaces
core, generate the same info for trinidad is easy, but obviously jsdoc
annotations are a little bit tricky.
