Prototype Reference Keeper

A utility that updates object prototypes without changing the original object reference.

Capabilities

Rebind single prototype

• Changing a plain object's prototype to a provided template exposes the template's method while keeping === identity with the original object @test
• Existing own properties remain accessible after rebinding @test

Remove prototype

• Setting an object's prototype to null returns the same object and results in a null prototype chain @test

Bulk rebind

• Applying a new prototype to an array of objects mutates each in place, returns the same array instance, and gives every entry access to prototype methods @test

Implementation

@generates

API
