Are there any frameworks/wrapper out there that gives us rubyish javascript?
Instead of the usual for() {} loop gives us the object.each {} loop like in Ruby?
Since javascript could be used in web browsers I do want to use it for the server side too, but I do like ruby syntax far more.
The Prototype library, having been developed by guys very close to Ruby on Rails, has a very Ruby-ish feel. It uses Ruby lingo (like mixins); for instance, the Enumerable mixin (which Prototype mixes in to arrays by default) adds the each method to an array, so you can do this:
["sample", "array"].each(function (item) {
console.log(item);
});
look up jQuery. it has a
$('.css-selector').each(function(i){
//do stuff
});
You might want to checkout JS.Class - Ruby-style JavaScript. From the docs,
JS.Classis a set of tools designed to make it easy to build robust object-oriented programs in JavaScript. It’s based on Ruby, and gives you access to Ruby’s object, module and class systems, some of its reflection and metaprogramming facilities, and a few of the packages from its standard library. It also provides a powerful package manager to help load your applications as efficiently as possible.
It comes with a well packaged standard library including modules and classes such as
The Enumerable module, for instance, is comparable to that in Ruby, and includes methods like
all any collect drop findAll forEach grep partition reject select zip
