Defining Classes

Defining classes in CoffeeScript can be as simple and as straightforward as one line:

Example: (source: simple_class1.coffee)

---

class Employee

---

Example: (source: simple_class1.js)

---

(function() {
  var Employee;

  Employee = (function() {

    function Employee() {}

    return Employee;

  })();

}).call(this);

---

With that, we have defined a simple new class called Employee. We can instantiate new instances of that object like so:

Example: (source: simple_class2.coffee)

---

class Employee

emp1 = new Employee()
emp2 = new Employee()

---

Example: (source: simple_class2.js)

---

(function() {
  var Employee, emp1, emp2;

  Employee = (function() {

    function Employee() {}

    return Employee;

  })();

  emp1 = new Employee();

  emp2 = new Employee();

}).call(this);
