OOP Javascript vs object literal -

i find myself use oop, mean this

function person(name){ return this.name = name; }  person.prototype.dateofbirth = function(){ //some stuff here }  var john = new person('john'); console.log(john.dateofbirth); 

maybe i'm not building framework or whatever sometime group method using object literal instead like

    var john = {     name:'john',     dateofbirth: function(){     // return etc     }     }  john.dateofbirth(); 

maybe because js client side language oop quite redundant, can u guys share ur oop experience using js? learned basic prototypical inheritance , advance objects of js haven't find use case it.

check out revealing module pattern, in have control on what's exposed , what's not. think gives public/privacy control 1 wish in oop.

this blog post example

var person = (function() {    var name = "default";    function dateofbirth() {     privatebirthcalculation(); //can invoked inside of scope     console.log( 'dateofbirth' );   }    function privatebirthcalculation() {     console.log( 'my private method' );   }    // explicitly return public methods , properties when object instantiated   return {     dateofbirth : dateofbirth,     name: name   };  })();
