util.inherits(constructor, superConstructor)

• constructor <Function>
• superConstructor <Function>

不鼓励使用 util.inherits()。 请使用 ES6 class 和 extends 关键字来获得语言级别的继承支持。 另请注意，这两种风格在语义上不兼容。

将原型方法从一个构造函数继承到另一个构造函数。 constructor 的原型将被设置为从 superConstructor 创建的新对象。

这主要是在 Object.setPrototypeOf(constructor.prototype, superConstructor.prototype) 之上添加了一些输入验证。 作为额外的便利，superConstructor 将可通过 constructor.super_ 属性访问。

const util = require('node:util');
const EventEmitter = require('node:events');

function MyStream() {
  EventEmitter.call(this);
}

util.inherits(MyStream, EventEmitter);

MyStream.prototype.write = function(data) {
  this.emit('data', data);
};

const stream = new MyStream();

console.log(stream instanceof EventEmitter); // true
console.log(MyStream.super_ === EventEmitter); // true

stream.on('data', (data) => {
  console.log(`Received data: "${data}"`);
});
stream.write('It works!'); // 接收到的数据："It works!"

使用 class 和 extends 的 ES6 示例：

const EventEmitter = require('node:events');

class MyStream extends EventEmitter {
  write(data) {
    this.emit('data', data);
  }
}

const stream = new MyStream();

stream.on('data', (data) => {
  console.log(`Received data: "${data}"`);
});
stream.write('With ES6');

• constructor <Function>
• superConstructor <Function>

Usage of util.inherits() is discouraged. Please use the ES6 class and extends keywords to get language level inheritance support. Also note that the two styles are semantically incompatible.

Inherit the prototype methods from one constructor into another. The prototype of constructor will be set to a new object created from superConstructor.

This mainly adds some input validation on top of Object.setPrototypeOf(constructor.prototype, superConstructor.prototype). As an additional convenience, superConstructor will be accessible through the constructor.super_ property.

const util = require('node:util');
const EventEmitter = require('node:events');

function MyStream() {
  EventEmitter.call(this);
}

util.inherits(MyStream, EventEmitter);

MyStream.prototype.write = function(data) {
  this.emit('data', data);
};

const stream = new MyStream();

console.log(stream instanceof EventEmitter); // true
console.log(MyStream.super_ === EventEmitter); // true

stream.on('data', (data) => {
  console.log(`Received data: "${data}"`);
});
stream.write('It works!'); // Received data: "It works!"

ES6 example using class and extends:

const EventEmitter = require('node:events');

class MyStream extends EventEmitter {
  write(data) {
    this.emit('data', data);
  }
}

const stream = new MyStream();

stream.on('data', (data) => {
  console.log(`Received data: "${data}"`);
});
stream.write('With ES6');
