// you can define default values that way
this.propertyB = b || "a default value";
this.propertyC = c || "another default value";
}
// a function that can influence the object properties
someMethod (d) {
this.propertyA = this.propertyB;
this.propertyB = d;
}
}
// you can then call it
var loremIpsum = new LoremIpsum ("dolor", null, "sed");
// at this point:
// loremIpsum = { propertyA: 'dolor',
// propertyB: 'a default value',
// propertyC: 'sed' }
loremIpsum.someMethod("amit");
// at this point:
// loremIpsum = { propertyA: 'a default value',
// propertyB: 'amit',
// propertyC: 'sed' }
