#Javascript experts, I need advice. I'm trying to extend a class in order to override a method or two. It defines everything in its constructor, and I can't work out how to use anything in the original class from my new one.
Could anyone suggest to me how syntactically I should minimally replace onKeyDown and handleKeyDown with my own versions, while still being able to use functions and properties from the base class? I'd really appreciate the guidance!
@Floppy, Github is not easily readable on the phone, so it's a bit of a random idea, but wasn't it possible to run super.someMethod()? So you can call a method from what you're extending.
@Floppy Doesn't look like there's a good way to overide onKeyDown while still using the original code. It's all hidden inside the closure. I think you might be stuck without modifying the library or copy pasting a bunch of code out of it. It's unfortunate that's how the library is written!
Of course depending on what you need to do you might just be able to add a capturing event handler to the containing element. Then you can decide whether to let the event propogate down or not.
@almostobsolete thanks! I could override the event handling completely, but I still want to call stuff inside the original class to control the camera; I guess that’s not possible with it all wrapped up like that.
