functions in classes javascript code example

Example 1: javascript class

class ClassMates{
	constructor(name,age){
    	this.name=name;
      	this.age=age;
    }
  	displayInfo(){
    	return this.name + "is " + this.age + " years old!";
    }
}

let classmate = new ClassMates("Mike Will",15);
classmate.displayInfo();  // result: Mike Will is 15 years old!

Example 2: javascript new function as class

// Javascript Function that behaves as class, with private variables
function Person(name){
    const birth = new Date();
    this.greet = () => `Hello my name is ${name}. I was born at ${birth.toISOString()}`;
}

const joe = new Person("Joe");
joe.greet(); // Hello my name is Joe. I was born at 2021-04-09T21:12:33.098Z
// The birth variable is "inaccessible" from outside so "private"

Example 3: 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 4: javascript classes

class SayHelloTo {
  name (to) {
    console.log(`Hello ${to}`);
  }
  constructor (to) {
    this.name(to);
  }
}
const helloWorld = new SayHelloTo(World);

Example 5: javascript classes

class Rectangle {
  constructor(height, width) {
    this.height = height;
    this.width = width;
  }
  // Getter
  get area() {
    return this.calcArea();
  }
  // Method
  calcArea() {
    return this.height * this.width;
  }
}

const square = new Rectangle(10, 10);

console.log(square.area); // 100

Example 6: javascript classes

let Person = class {
  constructor(firstName, lastName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;
  }
}
