classes and instances javascript code example
Example 1: javascript classes
//use classes by initiating one like so:
class MyClass {
constructor(FirstProperty, SecondProperty, etcetera) {
//The constructor function is called with the new class
//instance's parameters, so this will be called like so:
//var classExample = new MyClass("FirstProperty's Value", ...)
this.firstProperty = FirstProperty;
this.secondProperty = SecondProperty;
}
//creat methods just like functions:
method(Parameters) {
//Code Here
}
//getters are properties that are calculated when called, versus fixed
//variables, but still have no parenthesis when used
get getBothValues()
{
return [firstProperty, secondProperty];
}
}
//Note: this is all syntax sugar reducing the boilerplate versus a
// function-defined object.
Example 2: es6 class example
class Polygon {
constructor(height, width) {
this.height = height;
this.width = width;
}
}
