"var derived = new base()" basically means:
var derived = Object.create(base.prototype);
derived.constructor = base;
derived.constructor();
Which could be further deconstructed into:
var derived = {};
derived.__proto__ = base.prototype;
derived.constructor = base;
derived.constructor();
Which in turn is the same as:
var base = {
construct: function() {
},
}
var derived = Object.create(base);
derived.construct();
The way how "new" keyword and object.prototype work is confusing and
counterintuitive.
I would highly recommend you to use the last technique if possible.
You can create "derived2" object that inherits from "derived" object
like this:
var derived2 = Object.create(derived);
derived2.construct = {
derived.construct.call(this);
}
derived2.construct();
