Alternative to TypeScript Classes
Currently, I'm refactoring TypeScript code into classes because I want to use extends for N features to inherit some base functionality.
Previously, I had pockets of functions organized in separate files based on the type of functionality that they were providing. (foo.ts, bar.ts, baz.ts)
I figured classes would be better to stay DRY, as it removes a lot of copy-paste boilerplate between every feature. (common variables + common functions)
But I'm finding it really difficult to transition this structure into classes, because there are shared variables in a feature directory (
As a result, I'm brainstorming ideas about how I could use normal objects to emulate classes, but it seems very messy.
Are there any blogs that describe some patterns that might be useful here?
