No constructor call for anonymous class

   September 23, 2020  1 Comment on No constructor call for anonymous class

We can of course do:

class Person
        constructor: (firstName, lastName) ->
            this.firstName = firstName;
            this.lastName = lastName;

        name: ->
            "#{this.first_name} #{this.last_name}"

        setName: (name) ->
            names = name.split " "

            this.firstName = names[0]
            this.lastName = names[1]
new Person "Alice" "Fort"

But we can’t do:

new class
        constructor: (firstName, lastName) ->
            this.firstName = firstName;
            this.lastName = lastName;

        name: ->
            "#{this.first_name} #{this.last_name}"

        setName: (name) ->
            names = name.split " "

            this.firstName = names[0]
            this.lastName = names[1]
"Alice" "Fort"

Any possible workaround?
