@ -12,24 +12,35 @@ ES6 provides a new syntax to create objects, using the <dfn>class</dfn> keyword.
It should be noted that the `class` syntax is just syntax, and not a full-fledged class-based implementation of an object-oriented paradigm, unlike in languages such as Java, Python, Ruby, etc.
In ES5, we usually define a `constructor` function and use the `new` keyword to instantiate an object.
```js
var SpaceShuttle = function(targetPlanet){
this.targetPlanet = targetPlanet;
}
var zeus = new SpaceShuttle('Jupiter');
```
The `class` syntax simply replaces the `constructor` function creation:
In ES5, an object can be created by defining a `constructor` function and using the `new` keyword to instantiate the object.
In ES6, a `class` declaration has a `constructor` method that is invoked with the `new` keyword. If the `constructor` method is not explicitly defined, then it is implicitly defined with no arguments.
```js
// Explicit constructor
class SpaceShuttle {
constructor(targetPlanet) {
this.targetPlanet = targetPlanet;
}
takeOff() {
console.log("To " + this.targetPlanet + "!");
}
}
// Implicit constructor
class Rocket {
launch() {
console.log("To the moon!");
}
}
const zeus = new SpaceShuttle('Jupiter');
// prints To Jupiter! in console
zeus.takeOff();
const atlas = new Rocket();
// prints To the moon! in console
atlas.launch();
```
It should be noted that the `class` keyword declares a new function, to which a constructor is added. This constructor is invoked when `new` is called to create a new object.
