Classes in JavaScript
Classes, introduced in ES6, provide a cleaner and more familiar syntax for creating objects and implementing inheritance. Under the hood, they are still based on prototypes, but the class syntax makes object-oriented programming more intuitive.
Classes are ideal for modeling real-world entities and organizing related data and behavior.
Class Declaration
Constructor and 'this'
The constructor method runs when you create an instance with new. 'this' refers to the new object.
Instance Methods
Inheritance with extends and super
Static Methods
Static methods belong to the class itself, not instances. Call them with ClassName.method().
Getters and Setters
