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
- Create User and call greet().
- Add age in constructor.
- Make two instances and compare them.
- Add a static method User.fromJSON(obj) that returns new User(obj.name).
- Add a getter fullLabel that returns name plus a suffix.
Remember
class Name { constructor() {} } new creates an instance Methods use this for instance data
ScriptVerse account model
BankAccount class encapsulates balance, deposit(), and withdraw() used across dashboard modules.
Outcome: Classes give a familiar structure for domain models in large frontends and TypeScript codebases.
