bookWhy ES6 Classes?

Before ES6, JavaScript relied on prototype-based syntax to create objects and share methods between them. While this approach is flexible, it can make your code harder to read and maintain, especially as applications grow. Prototype-based object creation often results in scattered method definitions and less intuitive code structure. This can be confusing for developers who are new to JavaScript or those coming from class-based languages like Java or C#. ES6 classes were introduced to address these issues, providing a clear and consistent way to define objects and their behavior. With ES6 classes, you gain improved code clarity, better organization, and a more familiar syntax for structuring your code.

// Prototype-based syntax function Animal(name) { this.name = name; } Animal.prototype.speak = function() { return this.name + " makes a noise."; }; // ES6 class syntax class AnimalClass { constructor(name) { this.name = name; } speak() { return this.name + " makes a noise."; } }
