In this post, I explore various object oriented JavaScript design patterns. An intermediate level of JavaScript knowledge is required to get value from this post. Before we get started exploring the various patterns below, it’s worth reviewing a couple key things about JavaScript objects.
In this post, I am going to introduce to you 3 different ways of how you can implement inheritance in JavaScript. You will see inheritance implemented in languages such as Java by allowing a class to inherit state and behavior from a superclass, where each superclass can have many subclasses. This means that in Java an object is an instance of a class, which can inherit other classes. Now in JavaScript, being prototypal by nature, an object can inherit from an object. For the rest of this post, I will introduce the Pseudoclassical, Functional and Prototypal inheritance patterns in JavaScript.
