Can we cast a generic object to a custom object type in javascript?

Question

For example, I already have this object somewhere in the code, it is a generic object:

var person1={lastName:\"Freeman\",firstName:\"Gordon\"};

Answer 1

This worked for me. It's simple for simple objects.

class Person {
  constructor(firstName, lastName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;
  }
  getFullName() {
    return this.lastName + " " + this.firstName;
  }

  static class(obj) {
    return new Person(obj.firstName, obj.lastName);
  }
}

var person1 = {
  lastName: "Freeman",
  firstName: "Gordon"
};

var gordon = Person.class(person1);
console.log(gordon.getFullName());

I was also searching for a simple solution, and this is what I came up with, based on all other answers and my research. Basically, class Person has another constructor, called 'class' which works with a generic object of the same 'format' as Person. I hope this might help somebody as well.
