Why do I never see the prototype property in JavaScript code I edit, from books and documentation I’ve read, it seems to be a cornerstone of the language.
in the work i’ve done,
prototypeusually gets abandoned in favor of closure methods defined within the constructor so I can have private members in my javascript class. i’m aware thatprototypemay serve a purpose when setting up inherited classes but i’ve never needed to approach that level of complexity.
