What is the modern way to structure a “class” in JavaScript? [closed]

Answer 1

JavaScript does not use classes in the same way as Java, C++ or the like.

One way to achieve your effect is to define a function in which the this keyword is used--accessing members roughly as you would in Java. Then, use the new keyword in calling this function to create an object.

function Foo(){ //vaguely like a Java constructor
    this.aField = 1; //define members simply by using 'this'
    this.aMethod = methodFunction; //assign a function as a member using 'this'
}

function methodFunction(){
}

var foo = new Foo(); //construct an object
