I have a "super" module in my Node.js application with a constructor and some prototype functions.
var parser = function(options, util, cache, url) {
this.options = options;
this.util = util;
this.cache = cache;
this.url = url;
}
parser.prototype.start = function() {
console.log("I am a default start function");
console.log(this.constructor.name);
}
module.exports = parser;
I have a handful of other modules that inherit from this module. Now, when i invoke the start
function i would like to get the name of that module's constructor. For some reason this is not working for me.
var parser = require('../parser');
var util = require('util');
var DKAN = function(options, util, cache, url) {
parser.apply(this,arguments);
}
util.inherits(DKAN, parser);
DKAN.prototype.check = function($) {
var DKANParser = this;
if ($('meta[content*="Drupal"]').length !== 0 ) {
DKANParser.start();
return true;
} else return false;
}
module.exports = DKAN;
When invoking the DKANParser.start()
i only get the first console.log
with "I am a default start function" and cannot get the name of constructor whih is supposed to be DKAN
