Is it possible to call a method from the constructor in Coffeescript?
e.g.
class Animal
constructor: (@name) ->
move()
move: (meters) ->
alert @name + " moved #{meters}m."
class Snake extends Animal
move: ->
alert "Slithering..."
super 5
sam = new Snake "Sammy the Python"
This is generating the following error message “ReferenceError: move is not defined”
It is possible. However, to refer to the method you must use
@move()orthis.move(), the namemove()itself is not enough.
