Initialize individual character instancesĬonst hero1 = new Warrior('Bjorn', 1, 'axe') Ĭonst hero2 = new Healer('Kanin', 1, 'cure') We can demonstrate this by creating a new, empty object. Now we will learn how prototypes can be used to extend objects.Įvery object in JavaScript has an internal property called ]. In Understanding Objects in JavaScript, we went over the object data type, how to create an object, and how to access and modify object properties. We will also learn about inheritance and the prototype chain. In this tutorial, we will learn what object prototypes are and how to use the constructor function to extend prototypes into new objects. Among popular object-oriented programming languages, JavaScript is relatively unique, as other prominent languages such as PHP, Python, and Java are class-based languages, which instead define classes as blueprints for objects. This is known as prototypical inheritance and differs from class inheritance.

JavaScript is a prototype-based language, meaning object properties and methods can be shared through generalized objects that have the ability to be cloned and extended.
