How to inherit static methods from base class in JavaScript?

Question

I\'m trying to achieve some basic OOP in JavaScript with the prototype way of inheritance. However, I find no way to inherit static members (methods) from the base class.

Answer 1

In the classical (OO) inheritance pattern, the static methods do not actually get inherited down. Therefore if you have a static method, why not just call: SuperClass.static_method() whenever you need it, no need for JavaScript to keep extra references or copies of the same method.

You can also read this JavaScript Override Patterns to get a better understanding of how to implement inheritance in JavaScript.
