JavaScript class

Create a Car class, and then an object (myCar) based on the Car class:

// Create a Car class
class Car {
constructor(brand) {
this.carname = brand;
}
}

// Create a Car Object
myCar = new Car("Ford");

Description

A class is a type of object template.

The class statement initiates a JavaScript class.

Properties and methods are assigned in the constructor() method.

The constructor() method is called each time a class object is initialized.

The syntax in a class must be written in "strict mode".

Unlike functions, class declarations are not hoisted (you must declare a class before you can use it).

class className {
// class body
}
