Hi When dealing with a class (Class A) that is extended by a number of other classes (Child 1, Child2...), each of which has their own non-inherited properties and methods, what is the general consensus on the best way to add a parameter to the constructor of the parent class?
The problem I'm currently facing is that if I extend Class A and modify the constructor to accept an extra argument (Class A-ext), then Child 1 needs to extend Class A-ext so it can pass the new argument through in its super() call. But then I need to duplicate all non-inherited properties and methods of Child 1 into the newly created extended version of Child 1. So it seems to me that I either edit the original classes directly, which makes them potentially incompatible with the same codebase deployed on other projects, or I duplicate them and have two sets of almost identical code to maintain. Anyone got any suggestions for best practice when it comes to this sort of thing?
