Object Oriented JS

  • Write Clean, Organized Code
  • Create Classes
  • Add Methods to Classes
  • Use the new keyword to create instances
  • Keep state on an instance

How do we make reusable code, that can be extended into more complex systems?

A collection of functions and properties

Keeping Data Together

// Dog Properties
var firstName = "Fido"
var lastName = "Destroyer of Carpets"

// Dog Functions
function bark() {
    console.log("Bark!")
}

function sayName (firstName, lastName) {
    console.log("This dog's name is" + firstName + " " + lastName);
}

A collection of functions and properties

// Dog Object
var fido = {
    firstName : "Fido",
    lastName  : "Destroyer of Carpets",
    bark      : function() {
        console.log("Bark!")
    },
    ruinCarpet : function (carpet) {
        carpet.status = "ruined";
        carpet.color = "stained";
    }
}

Keeping Data Together

// Dog Object
var fido = {
    firstName : "Fido",
    lastName  : "Destroyer of Carpets",
    bark      : function() {
        console.log("Bark!")
    },
    ruinCarpet : function (carpet) {
        carpet.status = "ruined";
        carpet.color = "stained";
    }
}
// Another Dog
var mimi = {
    firstName : "MiMi",
    lastName  : "SquirrelMenace",
    bark      : function () {
        console.log("Bark!")
    },
    ruinCarpet : function (carpet) {
        carpet.status = "ruined";

What happens when we want another dog?

Objects: Create a Class

var ClassName = function(){}

The Constructor Invocation Pattern

//Create a class

var ClassName = function(propertyName, propertyName2){
    // attach arguments as properties to "this", a special variable
    this.propertyName = propertyName;
    this.propertyName2 = propertyName2;
}

Objects: Create a Class

// A class for Dog
var Dog = function(firstName, lastName) {
    this.firstName = firstName
    this.lastName = lastName
}

Objects: Create a Class

//Create a class

var ClassName = function(propertyName, propertyName2){
    // attach arguments as properties to "this", a special variable
    this.propertyName = propertyName;
    this.propertyName2 = propertyName2;
}

ClassName.prototype.methodName = function() {
    console.log(this.propertyName);
}

Objects: Add Methods

// Dog Class
var Dog = function(firstName, lastName) {
    this.firstName = firstName
    this.lastName = lastName
}


// A Bark Method
Dog.prototype.bark = function () {
    console.log("Bark!")
}

Objects: Add Methods

Classes make Instances

//Create an "instance" of the class

var instance = new ClassName("something", "something else");


var anotherInstance = new ClassName("something completely", "different");

instance.methodName();

anotherInstance.methodName();

Classes make Instances

// Dog Class
var Dog = function(firstName, lastName) {
    this.firstName = firstName
    this.lastName = lastName
}

// Bark Method
Dog.prototype.bark = function () {
    console.log("Bark!")
}

Dog.prototype.checkCollar() {
    console.log("This dog's name is " + this.firstName + " " + this.lastname);
}

// Dog Instance

var fifi = new Dog("Fifi", "Destroyer of Carpets");

fifi.bark();

fifi.checkCollar();

Objects: Organizing Code

A collection of functions and variables

// Dog Properties
var firstName = "Fido"
var lastName = "Destroyer of Carpets"

// Dog Functions
function bark() {
    console.log("Bark!")
}

function sayName (firstName, lastName) {
    console.log("This dog's name is" + firstName + " " + lastName);
}

Objects: Organizing Code

Reusable code

var Dog = function(firstName, lastName) {
    // Dog Properties
    this.firstName = firstName
    this.lastName = lastName
}

Dog.prototype.bark = function () {
   console.log("Bark!")
}

Dog.prototype.checkCollar = function () {
   console.log("This dog's name is" + this.firstName + " " + this.lastName);
}

What does the "new" keyword do?

  1. Creates a new Object
  2. Creates and binds a new           to that object
  3. It sets this new object's prototype property to be the constructor function's prototype object
  4. It executes the constructor function
  5. It returns the newly created object
this

Reusable code

var fido = new Dog("Fido", "Destroyer of Carpets");
var fifi = new Dog("Fifi", "Destroyer of Carpets");

fido.bark();
fifi.bark();

fido.checkCollar();
fifi.checkCollar();
