MonkeyPatching: PrimeFaces widgets extend/override

I'm currently using (it's working fine)

PrimeFaces.widget.OverlayPanel.prototype._old_init = PrimeFaces.widget.OverlayPanel.prototype.init;
PrimeFaces.widget.OverlayPanel.prototype.init = function(cfg) 
{
    this._old_init(cfg);
    this.align();
}

but I'd like to use something more readable and 'jQuery-ish' like this completely invented unrealistic code:

PrimeFaces.widget.OverlayPanel.patch(
{
    init: function(cfg) 
    {
        super.init(cfg);
        this.align();
    },

    show: function()
    {
        console.log('blah blah blah');
        super.show();
    }
});

I tried PrimeFaces.widget.Xxx.extend({...}) but in this case I have no access to super methods.

Please, keep in mind that I'm totally dumb with Javascript

Thanks

I've achieved it:

if(PrimeFaces.widget.OverlayPanel)
{
    PrimeFaces.widget.OverlayPanel = PrimeFaces.widget.OverlayPanel.extend(
    {
        init: function(cfg) 
        {
            this._super(cfg);
            this.align();
        },

        show: function()
        {
            console.log('blah blah blah');
            this._super();
        }
    });
};

this is stored inside

  • app
    • resources
      • js
        • pf-patches.js

and it's used in global template:
