Constructor in JavaScript
Short summary
JavaScript constructors are special functions that create and initialize objects using the `new` keyword, providing a reusable blueprint for multiple objects with similar properties. The tutorial covers constructor syntax, how `this` references the current object, adding methods, and the four-step process of the `new` keyword. It also compares constructors with object literals and factory functions, plus built-in constructors like String, Number, Array, and Date.
- •Constructor functions create reusable blueprints for objects using the `new` keyword
- •The `this` keyword inside a constructor refers to the object being created
- •Constructors can include both properties and methods; compare to object literals and factory functions
