I am trying to use OOP based javascript/jQuery. I want to put all my JS function inside a class, so it can be easily overridden/hooked.
I tried with a simple OOP code, but its giving type error: not a constructor.
Please have a look at my code and guide me what is wrong in my code, and how to fix it.
var myTestClass = {
testAttribute : 'test', // atttribute
testMethod : function(){ alert( testAttribute); }
};
var my = new myTestClass();
my.testMethod();
Thanks
to view your alert:
var myTestClass = {
testAttribute: 'test',
testMethod: function () { alert(this.testAttribute); }
};
myTestClass.testMethod();
another approach:
function myTClass(){
var testAttribute = 'test';
this.testMethod = function () {
alert(testAttribute);
};
}
var obj = new myTClass();
obj.testMethod();
Lazy Inheritance example:
function myTClass(){
this.testMethod = function () {
alert(this.testAttribute);
};
}
myTClass.prototype.testAttribute = 'test';
var obj = new myTClass();
obj.testMethod();
function derivedTClass() {
myTClass.call(this);
this.testMethod = function () {
alert('derived ' + this.testAttribute);
};
}
derivedTClass.prototype = Object.create(myTClass.prototype);
var obj2 = new derivedTClass();
obj2.testMethod();
derivedTClass.prototype.constructor = derivedTClass;
var myTestClass = {
testAttribute : 'test',
testMethod : function(){
alert(myTestClass.testAttribute);
}
};
var my = Object.create(myTestClass);
my.testMethod();
or
var myTestClass1 = function () {
this.options = {};
this.testAttribute = "test";
};
myTestClass1.prototype.testMethod = function () {
var self = this;
alert(self.testAttribute);
}
var x = new myTestClass1();
x.testMethod();
or if you use jQuery
(function ($) {
'use strict';
var MyTestClassObject = {
testMethod: function () {
var self = this;
alert($.fn.myTestClass.options.testAttribute);
},
init: function (options, elem) {
$.fn.myTestClass.options =
$.extend({}, $.fn.myTestClass.options, options);
}
};
$.fn.myTestClass = function (options) {
var out = Object.create(MyTestClassObject);
out.init(options, this);
return out;
};
$.fn.myTestClass.options = {
testAttribute : 'test' //default
};
}(jQuery));
var x = $.fn.myTestClass({testAttribute: 'overwrite'});
x.testMethod();
or with inheritance and abstract classes
var GElement = function (x, y) {
this.x;
this.y;
throw "can not instantiate GElement";
};
GElement.prototype.init = function (x, y) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
}
GElement.prototype.draw = function () {
throw "method draw of type GElement is abstract";
}
var Circle = function () {
this.radius;
};
Circle.prototype = Object.create(GElement.prototype);
Circle.prototype.init = function (x, y, radius) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.radius = radius;
}
Circle.prototype.draw = function() {
alert('circle draw { x: ' + this.x + ", y: " + this.y +
", radius: " + this.radius + " }");
};
var Rectangle = function () {
this.width;
this.height;
};
Rectangle.prototype = Object.create(GElement.prototype);
Rectangle.prototype.init = function (x, y, width, height) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.width = width;
this.height = height;
}
Rectangle.prototype.draw = function() {
alert('rectangle draw { x: ' + this.x + ", y: " + this.y +
", width: " + this.width + ", height: " + this.height + " }");
};
var b = new Circle();
b.init(1,2,3);
var r = new Rectangle();
r.init(5,5,12,7);
b.draw();
r.draw();
Or, with es6
//file test.js
class TestClass {
constructor (init) {
this._val = init;
}
get val () {
return this._val;
}
set val (arg) {
this._val = arg;
}
doSomething () {
console.log('Wow');
}
}
export default TestClass;
//file test2.js
import TestClass from "./test.js";
const COLORS = new Set(['Red', 'Green', 'Blue']);
class InheritedTestClass extends TestClass {
static isValidColor (color) {
return COLORS.has(color);
}
constructor (init, color) {
super(init);
if (InheritedTestClass.isValidColor(color)) {
this.color = color;
} else {
throw TypeError(`InheritedTestClass.constructor [error]: color "${color}" is undefined`);
}
}
doSomething () {
console.log("Bark");
}
}
export default InheritedTestClass;
//file main.js
import TestClass from '.test.js';
import InheritedTestClass from '.test2.js';
let test1 = new TestClass(10);
let test2 = new InheritedTestClass(12, 'Red');
test1.doSomething();
test2.doSomething();
test2.val = 30;
console.log(test2.val);
if (test1 instanceof TestClass) {
console.log(true);
}
if (test2 instanceof TestClass) {
console.log(true);
}
if (test2 instanceof InheritedTestClass) {
console.log(true);
}
if (!(test1 instanceof InheritedTestClass)) {
console.log(true);
}
