> Per https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-485, I have extended Avro's JavaScript support to dynamically generate constructors for Avro records.
> Validation of JS objects against Avro schemas is still supported, but the API is different: Avro.validate(schema, obj) instead of Validator.validate(schema, obj). This is a breaking change but may be worth it because there are now several Avro.* funcs.
> Code is at https://github.com/sqs/avro/tree/lang-js/lang/js. I will attach a diff.
> Here is sample usage. We compile a ManyFieldsRecord constructor function using the Avro schema as input. The constructor function accepts a JS object, which it validates against the Avro schema and then uses to populate the new object's fields. Then ManyFieldRecords objects use Object.defineProperty setters to ensure that the object remains valid Avro.
> {code:javascript}
> var manyFieldsRecordSchema = {
>   type: 'record', name: 'ManyFieldsRecord', fields: [
>     {name: 'nullField', type: 'null'},
>     {name: 'booleanField', type: 'boolean'},
>     {name: 'intField', type: 'int'},
>     {name: 'longField', type: 'long'},
>     {name: 'floatField', type: 'float'},
>     {name: 'doubleField', type: 'double'},
>     {name: 'stringField', type: 'string'},
>     {name: 'bytesField', type: 'bytes'}
>   ]
> };
> var compiledTypes = Avro.compile(manyFieldsRecordSchema)
>   ManyFieldsRecord = compiledTypes.ManyFieldsRecord,
>   mfr = new ManyFieldsRecord();
> test.throws(function() { mfr.nullField = undefined; });
> test.throws(function() { mfr.nullField = 1; });
> test.throws(function() { mfr.booleanField = 'a'; });
> test.throws(function() { mfr.intField = 'a'; }); // TODO: warn if setting int/long field to a non-integer
> test.throws(function() { mfr.longField = 'a'; });
> test.throws(function() { mfr.floatField = 'a'; });
> test.throws(function() { mfr.doubleField = 'a'; });
> test.throws(function() { mfr.stringField = 3; });
> mfr.nullField = null;
> mfr.booleanField = true;
> mfr.intField = 1;
> mfr.longField = 2;
> mfr.floatField = 3.5;
> mfr.doubleField = 4.5;
> mfr.stringField = 'a';
> test.equal(mfr.nullField, null);
> test.equal(mfr.booleanField, true);
> test.equal(mfr.intField, 1);
> test.equal(mfr.longField, 2);
> test.equal(mfr.floatField, 3.5);
> test.equal(mfr.doubleField, 4.5);
> test.equal(mfr.stringField, 'a');
> // Standard JavaScript JSON API interface:
> mgr.toJSON(); // --> returns plain JS object (without Avro-validating setters)
> JSON.stringify(mfr); // --> returns Avro JSON
> {code}
> More examples are in the test dir: https://github.com/sqs/avro/tree/lang-js/lang/js/test.
> This is still rough and I am very interested in getting feedback. Thanks!
