JS ES6 Classes

JavaScript classes are templates for creating objects. They encapsulate data with methods and support constructor methods.

Worked example

How it reads

  • constructor(...) initializes the new object properties
  • this refers to the specific instance of the class
Cloud tip: Class syntax is syntactical sugar over JavaScript's existing prototype-based inheritance model.
