flexiciousNmsp.TypedObject Class
This class is the base class for all Flexicious classes. It defines the basis for the Object oriented design, by implementing the "implementsOrExtends" function, which is a replacement for the "is" keyword from other OO languages.
Methods
getClassNames
Array
Returns a list of strings that represent the object hierarchy for this object.
Returns:
Array:
implementsOrExtends
(
)
Boolean
Returns true if the class name to check is in the list of class names defined for this class.
Parameters:
Name of the class to check
Returns:
Boolean:
As is obvious, it is very simple to use this class. Below is a sample class that “inherits” from flexiciousNmsp.TypedObject. Pay close attention to the code highlighted in yellow:

PreferenceInfo.prototype = new flexiciousNmsp.TypedObject(); //this ensures that the prototype hierarchy is setup for inheritance.
PreferenceInfo.prototype.typeName = PreferenceInfo.typeName = 'PreferenceInfo';//for quick inspection
/**

PreferenceInfo.prototype.getClassNames=function(){
