unsplash.com I like javascript, as always. But it was hurt, every time when I was required to program in OOP pattern. All those topics: Objects, Classes,Prototype, Inheritance etc., are the pain for developer, which caused by the personality of “loose comparison temper” and “auto type conversion OCD” of JS. This is an example from stackoverflow : First, Rabbit is a object, with public valuable and . jumps default value “yes” function Rabbit() {    this.jumps = "yes";};var rabbit = new Rabbit();console.log(rabbit.jumps);                    // yesconsole.log(Rabbit.prototype.constructor);    // outputs exactly the code of the function Rabbit(); Second, we want to change the code in Rabbit() so that the var with different Well, modifying default value of Object, and there is . , my gut tells me modifying the constructor function and problem will solved. it is not. jumps default value “no”. Object prototype.constructor( ) BUT Rabbit.prototype.constructor = function Rabbit() {    this.jumps = "no";};console.log(Rabbit.prototype.constructor);    // again outputs the code with new this.jumps = "no";var rabbit2 = new Rabbit();// create new object with new constructorconsole.log(rabbit2.jumps);                   // still What is happening is that Rabbit.prototype.constructor is just a pointer to the original constructor (function Rabit(){…}), so that users of the ‘class’ can detect the constructor from an instance. By Juan If you want to redefine a constructor, just do var oldProto = Rabbit.prototype;Rabbit = function() {   this.jumps = "no";};

Rabbit.prototype = oldProto; You also like Cracking nuts series: [Expressjs] override res.send [Expressjs] put the IP to BlackList Like this story? It is helpful to others?
