OLOO (objects linked to other objects)

This is what Kyle Simpson suggests you do instead of faking JavaScript classes in his book this & OBJECT PROTOTYPES and you'll notice he keeps the Pascal case convention for "classes" in his better way of doing things:

var Animal = {
   setSpeak: function(noise) { this.vocal = noise },
   outputSpeak: function() {
      if (this.vocal) {
         alert (this.vocal);
      } else {
         alert ("Hiss!");
      }
   }
};
 
var Bat = Object.create(Animal);
Bat.setSpeak("ping");
 
var Rat = Object.create(Animal);
Rat.setSpeak("squeak");
 
var Cat = Object.create(Animal);
Cat.actConflictedAndCrazy = function() {
   this.outputSpeak();
   alert("purr");
}
 
var myBat = Object.create(Bat);
myBat.outputSpeak();
 
var myRat = Object.create(Rat);
myRat.outputSpeak();
 
var myCat = Object.create(Cat);
myCat.actConflictedAndCrazy();

 
 

This example spits out four alerts containing...

1. ping
2. squeak
3. Hiss!
4. purr
