JavaScript prototype Property


Date Object Reference Complete Date Object Reference

Definition and Usage

The prototype property allows you to add properties and methods to an object.

Syntax

object.prototype.name=value


Example

In this example we will show how to use the prototype property to add a property to an object:

<script type="text/javascript">
function employee(name,jobtitle,born)
{
this.name=name;
this.jobtitle=jobtitle;
this.born=born;
}
var fred=new employee("Fred Flintstone","Caveman",1970);
employee.prototype.salary=null;
fred.salary=20000;
document.write(fred.salary);
</script>

The output of the code above will be:

20000
