How to use Object.create() method In Javascript

JavaScript provide us the Object.create() method for creating nested objects allowing us to create new object from an already existing objects, below is an example explaining the creation of nested objects using Object.create() method.

Example: This example shows the creating nested objects using Object.create() method.

Javascript




// Define the parent object
const parentObject = {
    firstProperty: 'w3wiki',
    secondProperty: 'A Computer Science Portal',
};
 
// Creating a child object
// with parentObject as its prototype
const childObject = Object.create(parentObject);
 
// Adding properties to the child object
childObject.thirdProperty = 'Noida';
 
//Output parent object and child object
console.log('Parent Object:', parentObject);
console.log('Child Object:', childObject);


Output

Parent Object: {
  firstProperty: 'w3wiki',
  secondProperty: 'A Computer Science Portal'
}
Child Object: { thirdProperty: 'Noida' }

How to Create a Nested Object in JavaScript ?

JavaScript allows us to create objects having the properties of the other objects this process is called as nesting of objects. Nesting helps in handling complex data in a much more structured and organized manner by creating a hierarchical structure.

These are the different methods to create nested objects in JavaScript are as follows:

  • Using object literals
  • Using square bracket notations
  • Using factory function
  • Using Object.create() method
  • Using object constructor
  • Using JavaScript classes

Using object literals

JavaScript allows us to create and define the objects using curly braces { } which are called object literals. These objects’ literals have key-value pairs where identifiers or strings are the keys and the value can be of any data type be it object, string, number, etc....

Using square bracket notations

Using factory function

Square brackets are used in JavaScript primarily for accessing arrays but they can also be used for accessing or for creating nested objects in JavaScript. Here is an explanation for creating and then accessing nested objects in java script....
