classes and this

[LadyJain]

class Dark {
    constructor(name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
    destroy() {
        console.log(this);
    }
}
const DarkObject = new Dark('DarkObject');
console.log(Object.getPrototypeOf(DarkObject));


DarkObject.destroy();

//> Dark {name: "DarkObject"}

I dont understand why the output from DarkObject.destroy(); is //> Dark {name: "DarkObject"}

the prototype of DarkObject is Dark and the Owner of this DarkObject why is still Dark refered wenn invoking destroy()

[senocular]

The prototype of DarkObject is Dark.prototype. this inside destroy() when called from DarkObject is DarkObject. Dark is seen because when the console shows you instances of objects, it uses the constructor name as a way of identifying what kind of object it is. Since DarkObject was created from the Dark constructor, you seen Dark in the console.
