Mixins
Let sayMixin = {
say(phrase) {
alert(phrase);
}
};
let sayHiMixin = {
__proto__: sayMixin, // (or we could use Object.create to set the prototype here)
sayHi() {
// call parent method
super.say(`Hello ${this.name}`);
},
sayBye() {
super.say(`Bye ${this.name}`);
}
};
class User {
constructor(name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
// copy the methods
Object.assign(User.prototype, sayHiMixin);
// now User can say hi
new User("Dude").sayHi(); // Hello Dude! Is a class that contains methods for use by other classes without having to be the parent class of those other classes.
Mixins may become a point of conflict if they occasionally overwrite native class methods.
