JavaScript constructor

  • by

In JavaScript, a constructor is a function that is used to create and initialize an object created with the new keyword. When the new keyword is used with this function, a new object is created with the properties.

JavaScript constructor example

Simple HTML example code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<body>
  <script >
   function Person(name, age) {
      this.name = name;
      this.age = age;
    }

    let p1 = new Person('John', 30);
    console.log(p1)
    console.log(typeof(p1))

  </script>
</body>
</html>

Output:

JavaScript constructor

Constructors can also be defined using class syntax, introduced in ECMAScript 2015 (ES6):

class Person {
  constructor(name, age) {
    this.name = name;
    this.age = age;
  }
}

let p1 = new Person('John', 30);

In this case, the Person class has a constructor method that is called when a new object is created with the new keyword. The constructor initializes the name and age properties of the new object.
