Javascript Prototypes For Performance

Without Prototype : Lots of memory per object
  • Each time when you create object from below vehicle function,
  • the line function(name){  this.name = name;  }  is alocated memory each time the object is created,
  • so there are multiple instances of same function.
function vehicle(){
    this.name = 'truck';
    this.set_name = function(name){ 
        this.name = name; 
    }
}
var taxi = new vehicle();
