Learn the basics of the JavaScript new Operator
The JavaScript new
operator is used to create a new object.
You follow new
with the object class to create a new object of that type:
const date = new Date()
If the object constructor accepts parameters, we pass them:
const date = new Date('2019-04-22')
Given an Object constructor like this:
function Car(brand, model) {
this.brand = brand
this.model = model
}
We initialize a new “Car” object using:
const myCar = new Car('Ford', 'Fiesta')
myCar.brand //'Ford'
myCar.model //'Fiesta'
