I just hit this issue myself and wrote a macro to make it a bit easier to
extend google-closure provided classes. Here's the code:
(ns move.macros
(:require [cljs.compiler :as compiler]
[cljs.core :as cljs]))
(defmacro goog-extend [type base-type ctor & methods]
`(do
(defn ~type ~@ctor)
(goog/inherits ~type ~base-type)
~@(map
(fn [method]
`(set! (.. ~type -prototype ~(to-property (first method)))
(fn ~@(rest method))))
methods)))
And here's the macro in action. I'm extending TreeControl so that I can
intercept when the user presses ENTER on an item in the tree:
(ns move.views
(:use-macros [move.macros :only [goog-extend]]
[cljs.core :only [this-as]])
(goog-extend
MyTree goog/ui.tree.TreeControl
([name config]
(this-as this
(goog/base this name config)))
(handleKeyEvent
[e]
(this-as this
(goog/base this "handleKeyEvent" e)
(let [view (.-hiddenView this)]
(when (#{(.-ENTER goog/events.KeyCodes)
(.-MAC_ENTER goog/events.KeyCodes)} (.-keyCode e))
(events/fire [:edit view] (get-selected-index this))
(.preventDefault e))))))
(defn- make-list-view [name]
(let [config goog/ui.tree.TreeControl.defaultConfig
tree (MyTree. name config)]
tree))
