ES6学习——集合（Collections）：WeakMap 应用示例

这里看一下如何利用weakset实现class属性的私有化：

var Person = (function() {
    var private = new WeakMap();

    function Person(name) {
        var privateProperties = {
            name: name
        };
        private.set(this, privateProperties);
    }

    Person.prototype.getName = function() {
        return private.get(this).name;
    };

    return Person;
}());

var p = new Person('John');
print('Person 4 name: ' + p.getName());
delete p.name;
print('Person 4 name: ' + p.getName() + ' — stays private.');
print('Person 4 properties: ' + Object.getOwnPropertyNames(p));

这样实现起来确实有点复杂，但看起来比较正规。而且这个场合正是weakset发挥作用的场景，因为weakset是弱引用，不会影响垃圾收集。

下面还有个例子是模拟java中compareTo的实现，在数组排序的时候可以使用：

var Person = (function() {
    var private = new WeakMap();
​
    function Person(name) {
        var privateProperties = {
            name: name
        };
        private.set(this, privateProperties);
    }
​
    Person.prototype.compareTo = function(other) {
        var thisName = private.get(this).name;
        var otherName = private.get(other).name;
        return thisName.localeCompare(otherName);
    };
​
    Person.prototype.toString = function() {
        return private.get(this).name;
    };
​
    return Person;
}());
​
var people = [
    new Person('John'),
    new Person('Jane'),
    new Person('Jim')
];
​
people.sort(function(first, second) {
    return first.compareTo(second);
});
​
print('Sorted people: ' + people.join(', '));
