§ Using Mixins to Share Behavior in JavaScript

In this video, we will be diving into the concept of mixins and how they can be used to share behavior among objects.

Mixins in JavaScript are a way to extend the functionality of an object by adding properties and methods from another object, without having to inherit from it. They allow for code reuse and a more modular approach to programming. In JavaScript, mixins are typically implemented using Object.assign() or the spread operator. For example:

const Mixin = {
  log() {
    console.log(`My name is ${this.name}`);
  }
}

function User(n) {
  this.name = n;
}

Object.assign(User.prototype, Mixin);

const u = new User('Krasimir');
u.log();
