Not all OOP concepts translate very well to JavaScript, but here's how
I treat them.
I could do it any of the following ways -
var Browser = {
this.getName: function() {
},
this.getVersion: function() {
}
};
This is really creating a namespace called Browser than has the
functions getName and getVersion.
Or I could do -
var Browser = Class.create();
Browser.prototype = {
initialize: function() {
},
getName: function() {
},
getVersion: function() {
}
}
This is creating a class that will later be instantiated. It can have
state and return results /for the object itself/ (through instance
variables). All Class.create() is really doing is providing a call to
<object>.initialize() when a new object is instantiated. You could
theoretically still call Browser.getName() and Browser.getVersion(),
but then you're not taking advantage of initialize() and you shouldn't
bother with Class.create().
