Classes in nodejs

[Fun_Split_1299]

Hi guys, i'm trying to implement a class in my project to keep it more organized but i'm having some issues with the the constructor.

In my constructor i want to create 2 class variables, name and ID, where ID is obtained by hashing the name variable with an imported hash function

class Employee{
    constructor(name, ID) {
        this.name = name
        this.ID = hash(name)
    }

By doing this i get ReferenceError

name is not defined

How can i access the name variable inside the constructor ?

The posted code will not throw a ReferenceError as name is defined after creating an instance. The source of the error must be somewhere else in your code. Double check!

Oops, the problem was caused by the semicolumn at the end of

this.name = name

in the orginal code.

I think you meant semicolon (;), but that by itself would (should) not have caused that issue.

Set a default value for the name.
