Q : JavaScript OOP

I watched Lee Brimelow’s Object-Oriented JavaScript tutorials : http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play.php?id=159
Now I have a question :

See following script :

 (function (window){
    function Car(a,b,c){
        this.a=a;
        this.b=b;
        this.c=c;
    }

   window.Car=Car;
 }(window))

My question is :

What if there is another “class” called Car created by other dev ? then will be conflicting ?

Thanks

This isn’t JS related at all, this is the core fundamentals of OOP . If you had an index file and some other developer had an index file of course there would be conflicts.

Solutions:

extending the class.
Adding to the existing class.
Scrapping yours and use his.

window.Car=Car;

This line is the only link to that Car class… Otherwise is not visible outside the wrapping function. As long you don’t rewrite the window.Car with another thing… that Car class is safe. After rewrite you will lose the link to what is inside that wrap function.

You could use namespacing to help prevent conflicts

(function (window){

    function Car(a,b,c){
        this.a=a;
        this.b=b;
        this.c=c;
    }

   window.flashTang = {};
   window.flashTang.Car = Car;

 }(window))

 alert(flashTang.Car);

Thanks Thecodingdude & wickedpixel ’s explain , and Jack’s solution , it works

window.FlashTang=window.FlashTang || {};  

(function (window){

}(window))

(function (window){

})(window)
