I'm curious what the difference is between the following OOP javascript techniques. They seem to end up doing the same thing but is one considered better than the other?
function Book(title) {
this.title = title;
}
Book.prototype.getTitle = function () {
return this.title;
};
var myBook = new Book('War and Peace');
alert(myBook.getTitle())
vs
function Book(title) {
var book = {
title: title
};
book.getTitle = function () {
return this.title;
};
return book;
}
var myBook = Book('War and Peace');
alert(myBook.getTitle())
