This example demonstrates JavaScript prototype-based inheritance and method overriding through a simple class hierarchy. It defines a parent `ClassA` and a child `ClassB` that inherits from it using `Object.create`, then overrides the `suchWow` method. The code also uses a global `App` object to track values shared across instances. After constructing instances of both classes and calling their methods, it outputs results using the console `log` API, showing how inherited methods affect instance and global state.

Prototype Chains

Prototype Chains demonstrates JavaScript’s prototype-based inheritance through a series of code excerpts. It shows property lookup behavior, including failed lookups returning `undefined`, and contrasts one-time copying with `extend()` against ongoing delegation using `Object.create()`. The example illustrates how a linked object (rose) delegates missing property lookups to its prototype (gold), while copied objects (blue) do not reflect later additions. It also introduces the object prototype, the top-level fallback providing shared methods like `toString` for all objects.

Classes

This example shows how JavaScript classes can be constructed using three different patterns: functional, prototypal, and pseudoclassical. It uses plain JavaScript functions, the `Object.create` API, and the `new` keyword to demonstrate object creation and method delegation through the `Car.prototype` object. The code defines a `Car` class with a `move` method that increments a `loc` property, illustrating how each pattern achieves the same behavior with varying levels of syntactic convenience.

Holding for inheritance work

This example demonstrates JavaScript class inheritance and object-oriented programming concepts using a Dog and Animal class hierarchy. The code defines constructors, prototype methods like `bark()` and `cuddle()`, static methods, getters, and setters, showcasing how instance properties and computed values work. It extends an Animal base class with a Dog2 subclass using `super()` to initialize inherited properties. The example also includes commented-out template rendering code referencing Nunjucks and Handlebars libraries, though no data visualization or rendering is actively executed in the final output.

Trying to learn to use objects created in JS

This example demonstrates JavaScript object-oriented programming using a custom `ToDo` constructor and prototype methods. The code defines a `ToDo` function that assigns an `action` property, then extends it with a `sayAction` method via the prototype. Two instances, `grace` and `mistyblunch`, are created and their `sayAction` methods are called, logging their respective action strings to the console. The script also directly accesses and logs the `action` properties of each object. It uses no external libraries or data sources, relying solely on native JavaScript object creation, constructor functions, and prototype-based inheritance to illustrate basic object behavior and property access.

Gist 7026512

This example demonstrates object-oriented JavaScript patterns for modeling zoo animals, showing how constructor functions and prototypes create shared behavior. The code defines an `Animal` constructor with `identify()` and `name()` methods on its prototype, while a `Zoo` object manages collections of animals. Although the zoo methods contain incomplete logic, the driver code tests animal identification, leg counts, and prototype method sharing across instances. The example uses plain JavaScript—no external libraries—relying on `console.log` for output and a custom `assert` function for validation. It illustrates inheritance and code reuse, though the zoo aggregation methods remain non-functional as written.

Gist 247783

This visualization uses a single file of JavaScript notes to map three inheritance patterns in Douglas Crockford’s code—pseudoclassical, prototypal, and functional—as a branching, node-link diagram. The code renders each pattern as a cluster of objects and functions, with edges showing prototype chains and constructor relationships. It relies on native JavaScript APIs like `Object.create` and constructor functions, while the layout is drawn on an HTML canvas without external libraries. The source is a gist by DylanFM, and the visual emphasizes the structural differences between the patterns by positioning them in separate columns.

JavaScript Basics

This example demonstrates basic JavaScript syntax and concepts using console output. The code defines functions and objects, including a `person` arrow function that returns an object with `first` and `last` properties, and logs the result to the browser console. It also shows commented-out examples of variable declaration with `const` and `let`, loops, and arithmetic operations. The page uses a simple CSS class for styling but no external libraries or data sources.

An approach to deep cloning objects in JavaScript

This example shows a recursive approach to deep cloning plain JavaScript objects, where each nested object is duplicated rather than shared by reference. The code defines a `cloneDeep` function that iterates over an object’s own enumerable properties using `Object.entries`, checks whether each value is an object with `typeof value === 'object'`, and if so, calls itself recursively; otherwise, it assigns the primitive value directly. The visualization likely demonstrates this process step by step, perhaps animating the traversal of a sample object tree. However, the code explicitly notes it does not support arrays, converting them into object-like structures with numeric keys, as seen in the comment about `['foo', 'bar']` becoming `{0: 'foo', 1: 'bar'}`. No external libraries are used—only native JavaScript methods and operators.
