Modular Design Patterns and Inheritance
Last week we talked about JavaScript inheritance and if you recall we had talked about modular design patterns in JavaScript just a month ago. I would also like to talk about how to connect both modules and class inheritance. We've already discussed that modules are classes. So if we can link classes by inheritance relationship, the logical half of our brain suggests that we should be able to link modules as well. The logic prevails - we can. AMD and inheritance I'll be using the classes we defined in the inheritance article, Mammal and Dog , and create modules from them. Let's start with our super class: (function () { 'use strict'; define(function() { function Mammal() { this.age = 0; console.info("Mammal was born"); } Mammal.prototype.grow = function() { this.age += 1; console.log("Mammal grows"); }; return Mammal; }); }()); Let's use it in our entry point JavaScript file.
