Douglas Crockford on Class Free OOP in JavaScript

Question

Douglas Crockford has a really good talk on "The Better Parts" of ES6. Among other things, he encourages a move away from prototypal inheritance in favor of class free OOP.

Here he says he stopped using new, Object.create, and this, but didn't really explain an alternative. Could anyone fill me in on how that might look?

Answer 1

You should watch the whole video, he explains it at later in the video.

function constructor(spec) {   let {member} = spec,       {other}  = other_constructor(spec),       method   = function () {         // accesses member, other, method, spec       };    return Object.freeze({       method,       other   }); } 

It's the revealing module pattern returning a frozen object.
