Just like you can add methods to objects, you can add methods to classes.
Methods are defined in this way:
class Person {
hello() {
return 'Hello, I am Flavio'
}
}
A class method is like a function, but without the function
keyword.
We can invoke methods on an instance of the class:
class Person {
hello() {
return 'Hello, I am Flavio'
}
}
const flavio = new Person()
flavio.hello()
//Hello, I am Flavio
If you are wondering what is the difference with methods defined on object literals:
const car = {
start: function() {
console.log("Car engine started")
},
}
There’s no difference, apart from the fact that all objects instantiated from the class will inherit the method, so they don’t need to define it themselves.
