Naive implementation of super in JS
Object.defineProperty(Object.prototype, 'super', {
get: function() { return Object.getPrototypeOf(this); }
});
function Foo() {}
Foo.prototype.reset = function() {
this.fooProp = 'reset';
console.log('Foo#reset()');
}
function Bar() {}
Bar.prototype = new Foo();
Bar.prototype.reset = function() {
this.barProp = 'reset';
console.log('Bar#reset()');
this.super.reset();
}
var b = new Bar();
b.reset();
JSON.stringify(b); // '{"barProp":"reset"}'
JSON.stringify(Bar.prototype); // '{"barProp":"reset"}'
JSON.stringify(Foo.prototype); // '{"fooProp":"reset"}'
