— So the same as integration tests

—


var Person = function(name) { this.name = name; };

Why should i use:

 Person.prototype.getName = function() { return this.name; };

Instead of:


var Person = function(name) { this.name = name;
  this.getName = function(){
return this.name;
};
 };

— Why not use the new class feature from es6
class Person {
get name () {
return 'some thing'
}
}

— What if you need some sort of inhertance ?

— Why not class syntax ?

— Because in the first example you only define TWO functions, while the second example defines a function per instance you create

— Yup, prototypes don't get copied on new

— This is also cool because setting this.thing on an object doesn't overwrite this.prototype.thing, it just overrides it
