typescript implements code example

Example 1: extends vs implements in typescript

class Person {
  name: string;
  age: number;

  walk(): void {
    console.log('Walking (person Class)')
  }

  constructor(name: string, age: number) {
    this.name = name;
    this.age = age;
  }
}
class child extends Person { }

// Man has to implements at least all the properties
// and methods of the Person class
class man implements Person {
  name: string;
  age: number

  constructor(name: string, age: number) {
    this.name = name;
    this.age = age;
  }

  walk(): void {
    console.log('Walking (man class)')
  }

}

(new child('Mike', 12)).walk();
// logs: Walking(person Class)

(new man('Tom', 12)).walk();
// logs: Walking(man class)

Example 2: typescript class implements interface

interface Task{
    name: String; //property
    run(arg: any):void; //method
}

class MyTask implements Task{
    name: String;
    constructor(name: String) {
        this.name = name;
    }
	run(arg: any): void {
        console.log(`running: ${this.name}, arg: ${arg}`);
    }
}

let myTask: Task = new MyTask('someTask');
myTask.run("test");

Example 3: ts extends

class Animal {
    name: string;
    constructor(theName: string) { this.name = theName; }
    move(distanceInMeters: number = 0) {
        console.log(`${this.name} moved ${distanceInMeters}m.`);
    }
}

class Snake extends Animal {
    constructor(name: string) { super(name); }
    move(distanceInMeters = 5) {
        console.log("Slithering...");
        super.move(distanceInMeters);
    }
}

class Horse extends Animal {
    constructor(name: string) { super(name); }
    move(distanceInMeters = 45) {
        console.log("Galloping...");
        super.move(distanceInMeters);
    }
}

let sam = new Snake("Sammy the Python");
let tom: Animal = new Horse("Tommy the Palomino");

sam.move();
tom.move(34);

Example 4: create method in interface for set TS

running: someTask, arg: test
