Welcome to our Web Development Bootcamp where you will learn the essentials of web development, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. In this article, we will focus on JavaScript object creation using constructor functions.

Javascript Object Creation using Constructor Function

JavaScript provides a way to create objects using constructor functions. A constructor function is a template for creating objects of the same type. It allows you to define a blueprint for an object and then create multiple instances of that object.

Here is an example of how to create a constructor function for a person object:

    
    function Person(name, age) {
        this.name = name;
        this.age = age;
        this.greet = function() {
            return "Hello, my name is " + this.name + " and I am " + this.age + " years old.";
        }
    }
    
    var person1 = new Person("John", 25);
    var person2 = new Person("Jane", 30);
    
    console.log(person1.greet()); // Output: Hello, my name is John and I am 25 years old.
    console.log(person2.greet()); // Output: Hello, my name is Jane and I am 30 years old.
    
    

In this example, we define a constructor function called Person with two parameters: name and age. Inside the constructor function, we use the this keyword to assign values to the name and age properties of the object being created. We also define a method called greet that returns a greeting message using the name and age properties.

We then create two instances of the Person object using the new keyword and passing in the name and age as arguments. We can then call the greet method on each instance to display the greeting message.

Constructor functions provide a convenient way to organize and create objects in JavaScript. They allow you to encapsulate the object’s properties and methods within a single function, making it easier to create and work with objects of the same type.

That’s it for our introduction to JavaScript object creation using constructor functions. We hope you found this article helpful and informative.
