call-stack

call-stack module (originally by Finley.Z.M.F) current version: v0.0.1

Installation

npm install call-stack

Example

var stack = require('call-stack')();

stack.push('item0', 'item1');
stack.push('item2');

stack.each(function(val, i) {
  console.log('pointer %d: %s', i, val);
});

stack.pointer = 0;
console.log('set pointer to %d', stack.pointer);

stack.alloc('123'); // output: item0
stack.alloc('123'); // output: item1
stack.alloc('123'); // output: item2
stack.alloc('123'); // output: 123

API

Factory: Callstack([name][, maxLayers][, constructor])

  • name String Default='anonymous'
  • maxLayers Number Default=10
  • constructor Function

The factory function to create a new call-stack object. Returns call-stack, used to chain calls.

Set the call-stack name to name. Use maxLayers to limit the length of the call-stack layers. If you call the stack.alloc, might be executed constructor.

stack.setMaxLayers(n)

  • n Number

Limit the length of the call-stack layers. If n is't a positive number, throws a type error. Returns call-stack, used to chain calls.

stack.previous()

Returns the call-stack previous layer. See Getter: Interface.__previous.

stack.current()

Returns the call-stack current layer. See Getter: Interface.__current.

stack.next()

Returns the call-stack next layer. See Getter: Interface.__next.

stack.end()

Returns the call-stack current layer. See Getter: Interface.__end.

stack.reset(n)

Returns the call-stack current layer. See Setter: Interface.pointer.

stack.push(payer[, ...])

  • layer Mixed

Append the stack layers. Returns call-stack, used to chain calls.

stack.each(iterate[, context])

  • iterate Function
  • context Mixed

By moving the stack pointer to traverse the stack layers. Returns false if the iterator will break through. If we want to continue to walk through, this stack pointer must move one step to the right. If iterate is't a function, throw a type error.

stack.alloc([...])

Allocate stack layers.

When the stack layer assignment is completed, if you configured a constructor for the call-stack the parameters of this method could be used on the stack constructor.

Returns a call-stack layer or a results of ran constructors.

Getter and Setter

See Callstack.Interface.

Interface: Callstack.Interface([name][, functional])

  • name String Default='anonymous'
  • functional Function

This interface function only for the basic properties of a call-stack object.

Set the call-stack name to name. Use functional to extend the properties and methods of the call-stack.

Getter: stack.name

The name of call-stack. It is a string type.

Getter: stack.length

The length of the call-stack. It is a number type.

Getter: stack.pointer

The pointer position of the call-stack. It is a number type.

Setter: stack.pointer = n

  • n Number

Configure the stack pointer. If n is't a positive number or n is invalid for the pointer position, throw a type error.

Getter: stack.isEnd

This value is true, if moved pointer to the end of the call-stack. It is a boolean type.

Getter: stack.isInvalid

This value is true, if the pointer is invalid. It is a boolean type.

Getter: stack.__previous

The previous call-stack layer. The stack pointer is not in the starting position, referencing the property, this stack pointer will move one step to the left.

Getter: stack.__current

The current call-stack layer.

Getter: stack.__next

The next call-stack layer. The stack pointer is not in the starting position, referencing the property, this stack pointer will move one step to the right.

Getter: stack.__end

The last call-stack layer. The stack pointer is not in the starting position, referencing the property, this stack pointer will move to the end.

Setter: stack.__append

Append the call-stack layer. If the call-stack has one or more layers, this call-stack pointer will move one step to the right.
