Can I construct a JavaScript object without using the new keyword?

Question

Here is what I\'d like to do:

function a() {
  // ...
}
function b() {
  //  Some magic, return a new object.
}
var c = b();

c instanceof b // -> true
c          


        

Answer 1

What's wrong with using the new keyword?

At any rate, it sounds like the best thing to do is read up on Javascript inheritance: http://javascript.crockford.com/inheritance.html
