JavaScript Class Reference
JavaScript Classes
A class
is a type of function, but instead of using the keyword function
to initiate it, we use the keyword class
, and the properties are assigned inside a constructor()
method:
Example
Create a Car class, and then create an object called "mycar" based on the Car class:
class Car { // Create a class
constructor(brand) { // Class constructor
this.carname = brand; // Class body/properties
}
}
mycar = new Car("Ford"); // Create an object of Car class
