Hi i have parent module like this.
// usermgmt.js
var usermgmt = function () {};
usermgmt.prototype.test = function () {
return "test";
};
usermgmt.private = function () {
return "private";
};
module.exports = new usermgmt();
and a Child prototype class like this.
// authentication.js
var usermgmt = require('./usermgmt');
var authentication = function () {};
authentication.prototype.callParent = function () {
usermgmt.private();
};
module.exports = new authentication();
How i implement inheritance? I searched by google but no solution works for me.
Answer
As @jfriend00 said, I write these functions with class keyword which is a syntactic sugar for your code!
usermgmt.js
// usermgmt.js
class usermgmt {
constructor() {
}
test() {
return "test";
}
private() {
return "private";
}
}
module.exports = usermgmt;
Write authentication like this.
authentication.js
// authentication.js
var Usermgmt = require('./usermgmt.js');
class authentication extends Usermgmt {
constructor() {
super();
}
callParent() {
console.log(this.private());
}
authFunction() {
console.log(':: authFunction ::');
this.callParent();
}
}
module.exports = authentication;
And usage for authentication will be:
var Authentication = require('./authentication.js');
let auth = new Authentication();
auth.callParent();
auth.authFunction();
console.log(auth.test());
1) Use class and extends syntax which is easier.
2) Return Class and not its instance
