| # Code: | |
| # | |
| namespace = (target, name, block) -> | |
| [target, name, block] = [exports ? window, arguments...] if arguments.length < 3 | |
| top = target | |
| target = target[item] or= {} for item in name.split '.' | |
| block target, top | |
| # Usage: | |
| # | |
| namespace 'Hello.World', (exports) -> | |
| # `exports` is where you attach namespace members | |
| exports.hi = -> console.log 'Hi World!' | |
| namespace 'Say.Hello', (exports, top) -> | |
| # `top` is a reference to the main namespace | |
| exports.fn = -> top.Hello.World.hi() | |
| Say.Hello.fn() # prints 'Hi World!' |
