This is my number one problem in every single project I do. This is coming from someone who always developed in a class oop style, and now changing is so much more difficult because I am so used to what I used to do. However, I agree 100% that it is better in most scenarios, the only scenario that I would use a inheritance over composition is when I am writing a base class and I want to enforce implementation of an abstract behaviour that all objects in future must have.
@schirmcharmemelone3 жыл бұрын
@@hugodsa89 So for example you make a base composition that the real compositions have to inherit? like returning the name or type of the composit and some sort of copy function or how to get the 'real' 'raw' data so you can leave that in an array with all other composite data of the same type in sequential memory. I think something the Video has not mentioned is the fragmentation of OOP data. If you want to update all poop states of all Animals then it makes no sense to jump through multiple pointers to get to the data. This would just give you cash misses and make your program slow. If you keep all position data in one sequential memory your cpu will chew right through it. Loading sequential memory can be 100x faster. Nothing beats an array.

Inheritance is appropriate for single-level abstract classes where you define expectations of abstract methods that MUST be defined in a subclass. You effectively have written a API-contract.

I blame the overuse of inheritance on college focusing too much on OOP and training us to overuse that pattern, and cram inheritance into our projects. A perfect inheritance hierarchy is a wonderful thing that gives you a sense of structure and a mental model. But it's not feasible in today's agile world cause it's unmaintanable. Most agile projects would benefit from using composition.

This is a nice explanation. What you consider "composition" is however called "concatenative inheritance". Composition is achieved by passing more specialized components into a more general one. By doing so, you create an object model tree in which objects reference and use other objects rather than making a type tree (taxanomy) in which objects are tightly coupled to their parents (prototypal delegates or parent classes) as opposed to loose coupling in case of composition.

I like the focus on what objects *do* versus what they *are.* This is a good example of a shift from one pattern to another. However, it relies on an unknown object (called "state") for the factory function pattern, and might make it more difficult to understand how the composition example maps onto the inheritance-based design. So, firstly, you'll still need an interface or a type for the "state" object passed into the factory functions -- in this case, it must have "position" and "speed" attributes for the drive method of "driver" to work. Secondly, if "barker" relied on any additional attributes, you would need to ensure the state object implemented those. This leaves you with the need for additional interfaces (which themseleves may or may not use inheritance for other reasons).

The way I learned the is/has distinction isn't as composition vs. inheritance (where it really makes no sense, as you said), but rather as how you decide whether something should be a subclass (which can be done via composition or inheritance) or a member object. I see inheritance as an attempt to port over a concept from languages where it makes sense (more strongly typed languages make composition much more difficult if not impossible) to a language that doesn't really need it.

Wow, that is a great video. I am a huge fan of prototypal inheritance but in less than 9 minutes you just convinced me that composition outperforms the whole concept of inheritance. But then I took some time to think about it, and I found some good parts to inheritance: 1) built-in objects in JavaScript have a huge list of properties and methods, that are spread over a prototype hierarchy like HTMLDocument > Node > Object. This hierarchy can trap you, but also help to separate layers of functionalities. So you can easily iterate on an object's properties without having to deal with all the methods inherited from Object.prototype like toString, constructor etc... 2) with composition, everything is _flat_, which can be a good thing at first look but can lead to overly complex objects (document.body has a total of 252 properties for example) 3) it is easy to extend a method behaviour with inheritance: you just override the function and call super() or equivalent. composing makes things quite harder : if I need to change the bark method of my RobotDog to bark(){ barker.bark("with a robot voice") }, I cannot compose it with barker. I would have to manually assign a bark method which instantiates a barker, call the original bark method in the context of the the RobotDog object, then add the extended behaviour, and things just became much more complicated. What are you thoughts on this ? Anyway, great video, you rocks !

2. Composed objects don't necessarily have to be flat (even though they are in my simple example) you can hide inner objects inside composed objects and only expose things that you need on the outer API surface area. Document body is that big BECAUSE it uses inheritance - that is the problem with inheritance, you get an enormous amount of functionality that you don't need. 3. Again, just hide the inner implementation inside your composed object.

I'm new to the concept of factory functions (well, JS in general) but I understand Object.prototype.someMethod as a way of creating methods or properties that an object can inherit. One of the major benefits as I understand it is that if you have your object inherit methods rather than instantiating objects with them it's more memory efficient. Using this concept of factories, and composition, are you getting the same benefits? If I create 10 murderRobotThingies, am I creating 10 objects each with their own method, or are they kind of inheriting the method, almost like I used the Obj.prototype pattern?

I love how you described the problem of composition vs inheritance. From my experience, i see inheritance as powerful tool how the small tool-set, or a feature, that has been developed. Small enough that a structure can be reorganized, and inheritance rethink-ed again. Usually like up 2 or 3 levels, but possibly no limitation if this hole deepness is predictable from code design. So to be more specific. Pure composition says that there are used, and those who use. Only 2.. Master and the slave. If we think about inheritance we have a common behavior for all set of parent->child->...->child and those can be used as object of 1st level only. From this given example are only for showing the benefit of composition. Benefit from inheritors is all about how Barker barks, or meower "meows", where the inheritance will be a better choice. Thank you!

The interesting thing is that composition is thought of as 'has a' but in your examples you name the abstract objects as 'barker', 'driver', 'killer', etc. which sounds more like 'is a' to the composite object. So although MurderRobotDog is a composition of objects, it 'is a' 'barker', 'driver', 'killer' - rather than 'has a' 'barker', 'driver', 'killer'. So although its composition, it sounds and almost feels like inheritance.

Yes, many times, composition is favoured over inheritance, but there are some cases where inheritence must be favoured over composition. Mainly when there are a lot of classes that share similar code. If we use composition in this case, then we will have to write a lot of duplicate code.

That's not true, the point of composition is you should never duplicate code. You may have several classes calling the same methods, but the methods themselves should not duplicate.
