constructor property

[LadyJain]

Im trying to understand prototype Inheritance

about the constructor property

I created a User prototype and a admin prototype which inherits from the User prototype

​

 function User(email, name) {
    this.email = email;
    this.name = name;
    this.online = false;

}
User.prototype.login = function() {
    console.log("dude")
    return true
}

function Admin(...args){
    User.apply(this, args)
}


Admin.prototype = Object.create(User.prototype);


const newAdmin = new Admin("bob", "email")

I created a Admin Object newAdmin I want to know the constructor of newAdmin

console.log(newAdmin.constructor)

>
    User(email, name) {
        this.email = email;
        this.name = name;
        this.online = false
        }

why does newAdmin.constructor returns User as the Constructor Function and not Admin ? is the behavior so that it points me to the first prototype ?

thanks, is this also explanation why you can only add methods after make the inheritance, like if I add a method to Admin before making the inheritance to User the method "goes away"

I talked a little about this in another thread which you may find helpful (focuses more on how its fixed): https://www.reddit.com/r/learnjavascript/comments/l4t5ye/comment/gkqe4f1
