I'm playing with util.inherits
method from node.js and can't seem to get the desired behavior.
var util = require("util");
function A() {
this.name = 'old';
}
A.prototype.log = function(){
console.log('my old name is: '+ this.name);
};
function B(){
A.call(this);
this.name = 'new';
}
util.inherits(B, A);
B.prototype.log = function(){
B.super_.prototype.log();
console.log('my new name is: ' + this.name);
}
var b = new B();
b.log();
The result is:
my old name is: undefined
my new name is: new
However what I would like is:
my old name is: new
my new name is: new
What am I missing?

Here's how to achieve what you are looking for:
This ensures the
this
context is the instance ofB
instead of beingB.super_.prototype
I suppose.
