What is this?

class is a clearer syntax for constructor functions and prototypes. You define a blueprint and create instances with new.

Why should you care?

Teams use classes for models, services, and UI components — especially with TypeScript.

See it live — copy this example

Paste into an HTML file or the browser console (F12). Use Run below when the live editor is available.

class User {
  constructor(name) {
    this.name = name;
  }
  greet() {
    return "Hello, " + this.name;
  }
}
const u = new User("Maya");
console.log(u.greet());

Run Example »

Edit the code below and click Run to see the result in Toolliyo’s live editor.

What happened?

  • constructor runs when you new User().
  • Methods on the class live on the prototype; instances share them.

Practice next

  1. Create User and call greet().
  2. Add age in constructor.
  3. Make two instances and compare them.
  4. Add a static method User.fromJSON(obj) that returns new User(obj.name).
  5. Add a getter fullLabel that returns name plus a suffix.

Remember

class Name { constructor() {} } new creates an instance Methods use this for instance data
