Configuration Objects Passing a large number of parameters is not convenient. A better approach is to substitute all the parameters with only one and make it an object. var conf = { username: "batman", first: "Bruce", last: "Wayne…

The error objects created by constructors(Error(),  SyntaxError(), TypeError(), and others) have the following properties: name The name property of the constructor function that created the object; it could be the general “Error” or a more specializ…

7.1 Singleton The idea of the singleton pattern is to have only one instance of a specific class. This means that the second time you use the same class to create a new object, you should get the same object that was created the first time. var obj =…

Loop through arguments and copy every property of every object passed to the function. And the result will be a new object that has the properties of all the source objects. function mix() { var arg, prop, child = {}; for (arg = 0; arg < arguments.le…

Shallow copy pattern function extend(parent, child) { var i; child = child || {}; for (i in parent) { if (parent.hasOwnProperty(i)) { child[i] = parent[i]; } } return child; } Deep copy pattern function extendDeep(parent, child) { var i, toStr = Obje…

No classes involved; Objects inherit from other objects. Use an empty temporary constructor function  F().  Set the prototype of  F() to be the parent object. Return a new instance of the temporary constructor. function Object(o) { function F() {} F.…

// the parent constructor function Parent(name) { this.name = name || 'Adam'; } // adding functionality to the prototype Parent.prototype.say = function () { return this.name; }; // empty child constructor function Child(name) {} inherit(Child, Paren…

Public Static Members // constructor var Gadget = function (price) { this.price = price; }; // a static method Gadget.isShiny = function () { // this always works var msg = "you bet"; // Checking if the static method is called by instance. if (t…

All object members are public in JavaScript. var myobj = { myprop : 1, getProp : function() { return this.myprop; } }; console.log(myobj.myprop); // `myprop` is publicly accessible console.log(myobj.getProp()); // getProp() is public too The same is…
