In this article, we’ll discuss class expression to declare classes in JavaScript and how to use them.
class expression: The class expression is another way of creating classes in JavaScript and they can be named or unnamed. If named, the class name is used internally, but not outside of the class.
Syntax:
- Using named class expression:
const variable_name = new Class_name {
// class body
}
- Using unnamed class expression:
const variable_name = class{
//class body
}
Example 1: Named class expression:
Javascript
<script>
const Website = class Geek {
constructor(name){
this.name = name;
}
websiteName() {
return this.name;
}
};
const x = new Website("GeeksforGeeks");
console.log(x.websiteName());
</script>
|
Output:
GeeksforGeeks
Example 2: Unnamed class expression:
Javascript
<script>
const Website = class {
constructor(name) {
this.name = name;
}
returnName() {
return this.name;
}
};
console.log(new Website("GeeksforGeeks").returnName());
</script>
|
Output:
GeeksforGeeks
