JavaScript OOP: Prototypes, Classes & Inheritance

🚀 Day 81 JavaScript OOP: What I Learned Recently Recently, I dived deeper into Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in JavaScript, and honestly, it changed the way I look at writing code 👇 🔹 Prototypes (Core Concept) Before classes, JavaScript used prototypes for inheritance. Every object is internally linked to another object. Understanding this made everything else much clearer. 🔹 Factory Functions Functions that return objects. Very simple and beginner-friendly, but not memory efficient because each object stores its own copy of methods. 🔹 Constructor Functions & new Using the new keyword, we can create multiple objects efficiently. Methods are shared using prototypes, which saves memory. 🔹 Classes (Modern JavaScript) ES6 introduced classes, making code cleaner and easier to read. But the important thing is — classes are just syntactic sugar over prototypes. 🔹 Inheritance With extends and super(), we can reuse code and build scalable applications. This is where OOP becomes really powerful. 🔹 GET & POST Requests (Backend Basics) GET → used to fetch data (data visible in URL) POST → used to send data securely (data in request body) 💡 My Key Takeaways: ✔ JavaScript is flexible, not strictly OOP ✔ Understanding prototypes is more important than memorizing classes ✔ Writing structured code makes projects scalable and clean This journey helped me move from just writing code → to actually understanding how things work behind the scenes ⚡ Still learning, but getting better every day 🚀 #JavaScript #OOP #WebDevelopment #NodeJS #LearningJourney #Coding
