I need to know how I can use a class in angularjs.
A simple class like this:
function Person(name,age){
this.name=name;
this.age=age;
this.getAge(){
return age;
};
//etcetera
}
I am learning angular but I can't find an answer to this. I want to create Person instances and use the name, age etc. in the view.
Please a simple solution because I am from a C# OOP background and don't know js frameworks. But I want to use the MVC pattern. Thanks!
AngularJS is a framework that is written in and used through JavaScript. Although JavaScript has many object oriented features, it handles inheritance quite differently. This used to be confusing to me too until I read the excellent: JavaScript: The Good Parts by Douglas Crockford. I suggest you read this, it's quite a brief book and points out differences in approach in a very clear and concise manner.
Your syntax is almost right, you just need to change the function declaration a bit:
function Person(name, age) {
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
this.getAge = function () {
return age;
};
}
Then you can create an instance like this:
var p = new Person("John", 26);
And do a call like this:
console.log(p.name + ' is ' + p.getAge() + ' years old');
Here it is in JS Fiddle.
In general, I highly recommend using Typescript, it complements angularjs in an excellent way. It makes your project very scalable, and adds intellisense. You can declare interfaces, classes, etc.
