Example

In this example we are going to build a simple object that will show inharitence and function.

First lets define our main class.

Animal

The animal is a class used to describe general things about all animals.

class Animal
  constructor: (@name, @color) ->
  growl: -> console.log "#{@name} the #{@color} #{@type} goes Roar!!"

Tiger

An example tiger class.

class Tiger extends Animal
  constructor: ->
    super
    @type = "tiger"

Usage

And now here is an example on how to use these classes:

sneezy = new Tiger("Sneezy", "orange")
sneezy.growl()

example.js

// Generated by CoffeeScript 1.6.3
(function() {
  var Animal, Tiger, sneezy,
    __hasProp = {}.hasOwnProperty,
    __extends = function(child, parent) { for (var key in parent) { if (__hasProp.call(parent, key)) child[key] = parent[key]; } function ctor() { this.constructor = child; } ctor.prototype = parent.prototype; child.prototype = new ctor(); child.__super__ = parent.prototype; return child; };

  Animal = (function() {
    function Animal(name, color) {
      this.name = name;
      this.color = color;
    }

    Animal.prototype.growl = function() {
      return console.log("" + this.name + " the " + this.color + " " + this.type + " goes Roar!!");
    };

    return Animal;

  })();

  Tiger = (function(_super) {
    __extends(Tiger, _super);

    function Tiger() {
      Tiger.__super__.constructor.apply(this, arguments);
      this.type = "tiger";
    }

    return Tiger;

  })(Animal);

  sneezy = new Tiger("Sneezy", "orange");

  sneezy.growl();

}).call(this);
