Version 1.x

This function declares that methods with a certain name should be chained in the inheritance order (bottom-most method runs first).

Description

Use dcl.chainAfter() to set a chaining rule for a method.

var A = dcl(null, {
  ...
  method: function(...){...},
  ...
});
dcl.chainAfter(A, "method");

Following rules should be followed:

• It is impossible to “unchain” a chained method.
• It is impossible to change a chained method once it was set from “before” to “after” or in the opposite direction.
• Chaining can be declared only for base-less “classes”.
• It is an error to mix “classes” with different chaining rules for the same method.

Notes

By default, all constructors produced by dcl use “after” chaining.

It is possible to declare chaining for a method without actually declaring the method.
