coffeescript Classes Classes, Inheritance, and Super
Example
CoffeeScript provides a basic class structure that allows you to name your class, set the superclass, assign prototypal properties, and define the constructor, in a single assignable expression.
Small example below:
class Animal
constructor: (@name) ->
move: (meters) ->
alert @name + " moved #{meters}m."
class Snake extends Animal
move: ->
alert "Slithering..."
super 5
class Horse extends Animal
move: ->
alert "Galloping..."
super 45
sam = new Snake "Sammy the Python"
tom = new Horse "Tommy the Palomino"
sam.move()
tom.move()
This will show 4 popups:
- Slithering...
- Sammy the Python moved 5m.
- Galloping...
- Tommy the Palomino moved 45m.
