How to “properly” create a custom object in JavaScript?

Question

I wonder about what the best way is to create an JavaScript object that has properties and methods.

I have seen examples where the person used var self = this<

You can also try this

    function Person(obj) {
    'use strict';
    if (typeof obj === "undefined") {
        this.name = "Bob";
        this.age = 32;
        this.company = "Facebook";
    } else {
        this.name = obj.name;
        this.age = obj.age;
        this.company = obj.company;
    }

}

Person.prototype.print = function () {
    'use strict';
    console.log("Name: " + this.name + " Age : " + this.age + " Company : " + this.company);
};

var p1 = new Person({name: "Alex", age: 23, company: "Google"});
p1.print();
