Advice about OOP in JS

JavaScript

Actually, about long post on the techniques…

Paul, could you please explain actual situation with OOP in JS? I mean, now I use…

Class…

var Foo = function()
{
    Bar.call(this); // quasi extension or misc

    var me = this; // for closures and private methods

    // method overriding
    var oldConstruct = this.construct;
    this.construct = function()
    {
        oldConstruct();

        // something new
    }

    var _p = 1; // private property

    this.getP = function() {return _p;} // public method

    var f = function()
    {
        // private method
    }
}

or singleton…

var singleton = new function()
{
    // something
}

What about interfaces, protected methods, constants and so on?.. I don’t know.

I disagree with that.

Thank’s a lot for the article. But if this the class realisation in JS, I better stay on “function as class”. At least. there I have a private properties.
