What is the easiest way to test for class membersh

问题:

I'm looking for an equivalent of Ruby's "blah".is_a?(String) of Objective-C's [@"blah" isKindOfClass:[NSString class]]

Do you want to test whether an object is descended from a particular class? Then you want the instanceof keyword. (It's not something added by CoffeeScript; it's a part of JavaScript.) CoffeeScript classes are set up so that if you write

class A
class B extends A
class C extends B

then the following is true:

(new A) instanceof A
(new B) instanceof B and (new B) instanceof A
(new C) instanceof C and (new C) instanceof B and (new C) instanceof A

Also, any object will return true for instanceof Object.

If you want to test the specific class that an object is an instance of, use .constructor. For instance,

(new B).constructor is B

or if you'd like to use a string,

(new B).constructor.name is 'B'

It feels wrong for me to create an instance of a class. You never know, what parameters the constructor might expect.

So what I came up with is this:

class A
class B extends A

console.log B.__super__ is A.prototype# => true
