JavaScript Extending Class

Question

I have a base class:

function Monster() {
  this.health = 100;
}

Monster.prototype.growl = function() {
  console.log(\"Grr!\");
}

That

Answer 1

For traditional extending you can simply write superclass as constructor function, and then apply this constructor for your inherited class.

     function AbstractClass() {
      this.superclass_method = function(message) {
          // do something
        };
     }

     function Child() {
         AbstractClass.apply(this);
         // Now Child will have superclass_method()
     }

Example on angularjs:

app.service('noisyThing', 
  ['notify',function(notify){
    this._constructor = function() {
      this.scream = function(message) {
          message = message + " by " + this.get_mouth();
          notify(message); 
          console.log(message);
        };

      this.get_mouth = function(){
        return 'abstract mouth';
      }
    }
  }])
  .service('cat',
  ['noisyThing', function(noisyThing){
    noisyThing._constructor.apply(this)
    this.meow = function() {
      this.scream('meooooow');
    }
    this.get_mouth = function(){
      return 'fluffy mouth';
    }
  }])
  .service('bird',
  ['noisyThing', function(noisyThing){
    noisyThing._constructor.apply(this)
    this.twit = function() {
      this.scream('fuuuuuuck');
    }
  }])
