Xem xét đoạn code dưới đây:
// **ES5**
var Person = function(first, last) {
if (!(this instanceof Person)) {
throw new Error("Person is a constructor function, use new with it");
}
this.first = first;
this.last = last;
};
Person.prototype.personMethod = function() {
return "Result from personMethod: this.first = " + this.first + ", this.last = " +
this.last;
};
var Employee = function(first, last, position) {
if (!(this instanceof Employee)) {
throw new Error("Employee is a constructor function, use new with it");
}
Person.call(this, first, last);
this.position = position;
};
Employee.prototype = Object.create(Person.prototype);
Employee.prototype.constructor = Employee;
Employee.prototype.personMethod = function() {
var result = Person.prototype.personMethod.call(this);
return result + ", this.position = " + this.position;
};
Employee.prototype.employeeMethod = function() {
// ...
};
Và tương tự như trên:
// ***ES2015+**
class Person {
constructor(first, last) {
this.first = first;
this.last = last;
}
personMethod() {
// ...
}
}
class Employee extends Person {
constructor(first, last, position) {
super(first, last);
this.position = position;
}
employeeMethod() {
// ...
}
}
