517 PointsJS Class - how to store dynamic objects to an object
I have a program to setup a graph network. Up to now I stored all class properties in the constructor and created methods to add values to properties which are not known upon creation of the objects:
class Node { constructor(name){ this.name = name; this.parentEdge = ''; this.childEdges = []; } addParentEdge(edge){ this.parentEdge = edge; } addChildEdge(edge){ this.childEdges.push(edge); } }
Recently I learned in my js course to store dynamic properties not in the class constructor but to use getters and setters.
For the parentEdge that works quite well. set parentEdge(edge) { this._parentEdge = edge; }
But for the ChildEdges I don't want to set a whole array with all childEdges at once but just to push one new array entry when needed.
I am happy for any help, thanks a lot!
