Utils.inherit Class
Provide an useful way to use inheritance.
Note: inherit
is not a class but a standalone function.
Internally, inherit
use a intermediate dummy function as prototype.
So, inherit
doesn't call the parent constructor, unlike to the classic inheritance method.
// class Parent
function Parent(arg) {
do_some_stuff(arg);
}
Parent.prototype.foo = "Hello";
//class Child
function Child(arg, arg2) {
//Parent constructor call.
Parent.call(this, arg);
do_other_stuff(arg2);
}
inherit(Child, Parent);
var child = new Child(1, 2);
console.log(child instanceof Parent); //true
console.log(child.foo); //"Hello"
Warning: this function rewrite the prototype of child
. All change must be done after the call to inherit
,
otherwise they will be erased.
