Understanding JavaScript Inheritance with Example [How To]


In the JavaScript, we can implement the Inheritance using the some alternative ways and we can’t define a class keyword but we create a Constructor function and using new keyword achieves it.  

The some Alternative ways As,
1.      Pseudo classical Inheritance
2.      Prototype Inheritance

Pseudo classical Inheritance is the most popular way. In this way, create a constructor function using the new operator and add the members function with the help for constructor function prototype.

The Prototype based programming is a technique of object oriented programming. In this mechanism we can reuse the exiting objects as prototypes. 

The prototype inheritance also known as prototypal, classless or instance based inheritances.


Example as,

// Create a helper function.
if (typeof Object.create !== 'function') {

        Object.create = function (obj) {
            function fun() { };
            fun.prototype = obj;
            return new fun();
        };
}

//This is a parent class.
var parent = {
        sayHi: function () {
            alert('Hi, I am parent!');
        },
        sayHiToWalk: function () {
            alert('Hi, I am parent! and going to walk!');
        }
};

//This is child class and the parent class is inherited in the child class.
var child = Object.create(parent);

child.sayHi = function () {
    alert('Hi, I am a child!');
};


<button type="submit" onclick="child.sayHi()"> click to oops</button>


The output is : Hi, I am a child!

nullinjectorerror no provider for httpclient angular 17

In Angular 17 where the standalone true option is set by default, the app.config.ts file is generated in src/app/ and provideHttpClient(). We can be added to the list of providers in app.config.ts Step 1:   To provide HttpClient in a standalone app we could do this in the app.config.ts file, app.config.ts: import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core'; import { provideRouter } from '@angular/router'; import { routes } from './app.routes'; import { provideClientHydration } from '@angular/platform-browser'; //This (provideHttpClient) will help us to resolve the issue  import {provideHttpClient} from '@angular/common/http'; export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {   providers: [ provideRouter(routes),  provideClientHydration(), provideHttpClient ()      ] }; The appConfig const is used in the main.ts file, see the code, main.ts : import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { appConfig } from ...

React Lifecycle Components | Mounting, Updating, Unmounting

In React, each component has a life-cycle which manipulate during its three main phases. The following three phases are: 1.       Mounting 2.       Updating 3.       Unmounting React does so by “ Mounting ” (adding nodes to the DOM), “ Unmounting ” (removing them from the DOM), and “ Updating ” (making changes to nodes already in the DOM). Mounting - Lifecycle Phase 1 Mounting is used for adding nodes (elements) to the DOM. The React has four built-in methods that gets called, in this order, when mounting a component - 1.       constructor() 2.       getDerivedStateFromProps() 3.       render() 4.       componentDidMount() Note – 1)       The render() method is required and It always be called and the others methods are optional (you will call...
