Version 1.x

This is a convenience function to weave an around advice based on advise().

Description

This is a shortcut function to weave one around advice with an object’s method. Logically it is defined as:

1
2
3
4
5

advise.around = function(object, name, advice){
  return advise(object, name, {
    around: advice
  });
};

It means that instead of:

1
2
3

var adv = advise(object, name, {
  around: advice
});

It is possible to write a shorter version:

1

var adv = advise.around(object, name, advice);

Advice function

Essentially it is the same as dcl.superCall(). It uses the same double function pattern, and its behavior is the same.

Returned value

Just like advise() it is based on, it returns an opaque object with a single method: unadvise(). Calling it without parameters removes all advices set with that call to advise().

In order to be compatible with general destruction mechanisms it defines one more method: destroy(), which is an alias to unadvise().

Notes

Don’t forget that around advices always follow the double function pattern:

1
2
3

function aroundAdvice(sup){
  return function(...){...};
}

See details in dcl.superCall(), dcl.advise(). and advise().
