Sometimes, we want to override methods with JavaScript.
In this article, we’ll look at how to override methods with JavaScript.
How to override methods with JavaScript?
To override methods with JavaScript, we can use the class syntax.
For instance, we write
class A {
speak() {
console.log("I'm A");
}
}
class B extends A {
speak() {
super.speak();
console.log("I'm B");
}
}
const a = new A();
a.speak();
const b = new B();
b.speak();
to create class B that inherits from class A.
In it, we override class A‘s speak method by calling super.speak.
Then we add our own behavior for the speak method exclusive to B.
Therefore, when we call a.speak, we get "I'm A".
And when we call b.speak, we get "I'm B".
