Description
Before ES6 introduced classes class-oriented programming was often implemented in ES (whether by developers or transpilers) by using prototypes directly, for example:
function Person(name) {
this.name = name;
}
Person.prototype.sayHello = function() {
console.log("Hello, my name is " + this.name);
}
new Person("Joe").sayHello();
This pattern is not currently instrumented by appmap-node, but can often be present in legacy code. Instrumenting this pattern will make appmap-node more useful in this scenario.
