The class declaration creates a new class with a given name using prototype-based inheritance.
class name [extends] {
// class body
}
class Polygon {
constructor(height, width) {
this.name = 'Polygon';
this.height = height;
this.width = width;
}
}
class Square extends Polygon {
constructor(length) {
super(length, length);
this.name = 'Square';
}
}
Example from react.
class Clock extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {date: new Date()};
}
render() {
return (
<div>
<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
<h2>It is {this.state.date.toLocaleTimeString()}.</h2>
</div>
);
}
}
