Defining a class

Learn to define a class with the class keyword.

What is a class?

A class is a template used to create objects. In JavaScript it is declared with the class keyword and has a body between curly braces.

The template describes how to make objects; it is not an object itself. From one class you can create as many instances as you need.

Classes work like real-world molds: a 'User' class defines the shared structure for every user.

A class declaration starts with the class keyword, followed by the class name and a body in curly braces.

class User {
  // body goes here
}

Class names usually start with a capital letter (for example User, Product). The body can be empty; we will add methods and a constructor later.

A declaration does not create an object by itself; it only defines the template.

Declare a class named Account with an empty body.
