Trait.create with null prototype. Is it possible? Not recommended?

[Thiago F]

Hey, I just started using traits (but I waited for this moment a long time =P).

Usually a build my objects with prototype null. It does not seem possible using Trait.create.

Is it right?

(Is it here the right place to ask?)

Thank you.

Best,

It's definitely possible to use a null prototype with Trait.create.

Trait.create was explicitly modeled after ES5's built-in Object.create method. Both methods take as the first argument the prototype of the newly created object, and this is allowed to be null.

Example:

var Trait = require("traits.js");

var t1 = Trait({ a: 1, b: 2 })

var t2 = Trait({c: 3})

var t3 = Trait.compose(t1, t2)

var o = Trait.create(null, t3)

> o

{ a: 1, b: 2, c: 3 }

> o.hasOwnProperty // o doesn't inherit properties from Object.prototype

undefined

Cheers,

Absolutely. My mistake. Thank you!
