Proper way to do inheritance in nodejs

[kkc]

Hi, all. I am new to nodejs.
I don't know if this is a right place to ask such simple question.

I should write the code that could run on browser side and server side.
I found out that I can use require('util').inherits to do inheritance thing in nodejs.
But if I want to let same code run on both client and server side,
how can I do for that? Thanks a lot !

One way to be able to use util.inherits() in the browser is to use browserify. I have not used webpack but it is also likely to supply util.inherits().

thanks a lot, I will try to learn how to use browserify!

I'd suggest taking a look at the implementation of util.inherits(): https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/lib/util.js#L734-L772

JavaScript uses what we call "prototypical inheritance", which is different than some other languages. You can probably find a lot of info by googling something like that. :)
