JavaScript Classes Class Inheritance
Example
Inheritance works just like it does in other object-oriented languages: methods defined on the superclass are accessible in the extending subclass.
If the subclass declares its own constructor then it must invoke the parents constructor via super() before it can access this.
class SuperClass {
constructor() {
this.logger = console.log;
}
log() {
this.logger(`Hello ${this.name}`);
}
}
class SubClass extends SuperClass {
constructor() {
super();
this.name = 'subclass';
}
}
const subClass = new SubClass();
subClass.log(); // logs: "Hello subclass"
