Can NodObjC Handle the Event Type? about nodobjc HOT 3 CLOSED

Oops, no hate! Sorry for not closing this myself I was able to resolve my issue with the following:

var $ = require('NodObjC');
$.framework('AppKit');

var app = $.NSApplication.extend('KeyApp');
app.addMethod('sendEvent:','v@:@', function(self, _cmd, nsevent){
    console.log(nsevent);
});
app.register();
app('sharedApplication')('run');

from nodobjc.

@matt- Your example doesn't quite match up with the python one above (although I don't know python, they're doing two different things).

The Python example extends the NSApplication and overrides its sendEvent method (or, at least, appears to). While the nodobjc example you have creates a delegate and assigns the delegate to the application.

Delegates are not the same as extending (and overriding) a method in an existing object. What you'd probably want to do is:

$.NSApplication.extend('KeySocketApp');
$.KeySocketApp ... // and so on...

Delegates are just an object that NSApplication can ask questions about how it should function (what you implemented). However extending and overriding a method is taking the existing Class/Object and overriding its behavior to do something new. It's generally regarded (especially on NSApplication, a very core class/object) as a bad idea, but can be very powerful if you're careful.

Good luck!

Not a bug, don't hate me for closing it :)
