Seeking insights on implementing multiple inheritance in JavaScript. Various methods exist, each with pros and cons. However, there lacks a comprehensive analysis of Object.create()
presented in an understandable manner. After conducting experiments, I have devised an approach that successfully achieves multiple inheritance using Object.create()
(refer to JSFiddle link below).
https://jsfiddle.net/etymhecv/
In the JSFiddle example above, the variables p
represents a Person
, e
symbolizes an Employee
(inheriting from Person
), and ae
denotes an AlienEmployee
(which inherits from both the independent class Alien
and Employee
). The test Person.isPerson(ae)
correctly identifies an AlienEmployee
as a type of Person
.
Would appreciate insight on any potential drawbacks of the aforementioned approach, if any.
