JS IS Classes

1. Introduction to Classes: Imagine you have a toy car. The toy car has things it can do, like move forward, backward, or honk its horn. Now, think of a class as a blueprint for making many toy cars that all act the same way.

   So, an "introduction to classes" is like showing you how to make a blueprint for the toy car. It tells you what the toy car should look like and what things it can do.

   With this blueprint, you can make lots of toy cars, and they'll all have the same features and actions. So, instead of building each car from scratch, you can use the blueprint to make as many toy cars as you want, each just like the others!

2. Class Declaration: Learning how to declare a class using the class keyword, defining properties and methods within the class body.

   

3. Constructor Method: Understanding the constructor method, which is a special method used for initializing instances of a class with initial values.

   

4. Instance Methods: Defining instance methods within the class to perform actions or manipulate instance properties.

   

5. Static Methods: Introduction to static methods, which are methods that belong to the class itself rather than its instances.

   

6. Inheritance: Understanding inheritance in JavaScript classes, where one class can inherit properties and methods from another class using the extends keyword.

   

7. Super Keyword: Learning about the super keyword, which is used to call the constructor of the parent class and access its methods and properties from the child class.

   

8. Getter and Setter Methods: Exploring getter and setter methods, which allow controlled access to object properties.

   

9. Class Fields (Properties): Introduction to class fields, which are properties declared at the class level using the new class fields syntax.

   

10. Private Class Members: Understanding private class members, which are properties or methods that can only be accessed from within the class itself.

    

11. Public and Private Fields (Properties): Learning about public and private fields, which provide control over the visibility of class properties.

    

12. Extending Built-in Classes: Exploring how to extend built-in JavaScript classes like Array, Object, or Map to add custom functionality.

    

13. Mixins: Introduction to mixins, which are a way to combine multiple objects into a single object to reuse code.

    

14. Practical Examples and Exercises:

• We define a class called TaskManager that helps manage tasks.

• In the constructor, we initialize an empty array to store tasks.

• We have a method called addTask(title) that takes a title as input and adds a new task with that title and a default status of 'todo' to the tasks array.

• We also have a method called displayTasks() that prints out all the tasks along with their statuses.

• We then create an instance of the TaskManager class called taskManager.

• We add two tasks using the addTask method.

• Finally, we display all tasks using the displayTasks method.
