All the methods and properties added to the prototype are directly available as soon as a new object created using the constructor.
We can access all the methods and properties already defined from newtoy object created using the Gadget() constructor.
var newtoy = new Gadget('webcam', 'black');
newtoy.name;
"webcam"
newtoy.color;
"black"
newtoy.whatAreYou();
"I am a black webcam"
newtoy.price;
100
newtoy.rating;
3
newtoy.getInfo();
"Rating: 3, price: 100"
Let's continue the example, adding a new method to the prototype:
Gadget.prototype.get = function(what) {
return this[what];
};Even though newtoy was created before the get() method was defined, newtoy will still have access to the new method:
newtoy.get('price');
100
newtoy.get('color');
"black"
