I'm a bit confused by how inheritance works for class properties. Here's a representative example:
class Base {
something = 1;
constructor() {
console.log(this.something);
}
}
class Child extends Base {
something = 2;
}
new Child();
this logs 1 to the terminal, where I'd expect it to log 2.
This is just a minimal working example. My actual code is more complicated, but basically my requirements are:
Child should have a property,Base.constructor.I don't think we can directly access child property from parent class. You can pass value after object creation, but it's not an elegant way.
class Base {
something = null;
constructor(something) {
this.something = something;
alert(this.something);
}
}
class Child extends Base{
something = 2;
}
let childObj = new Child();
let baseObj = new Base(childObj.something);Parent constructor will always be called when you create child object, so I suggest you to use this.something in a separate method instead of constructor.
