I need different constructors for my instances. What is a common pattern for that?
How do you find this one?
function Foobar(foobar) {
this.foobar = foobar;
}
Foobar.prototype = {
foobar: null
};
Foobar.fromComponents = function(foo, bar) {
var foobar = foo + bar;
return new Foobar(foobar);
};
//usage: the following two lines give the same result
var x = Foobar.fromComponents('Abc', 'Cde');
var y = new Foobar('AbcDef')
