Can you give examples of multiple inheritance in JavaScript?

Can you give examples of multiple inheritance in JavaScript?

JavaScript doesn't support multiple inheritance directly, but you can achieve similar behavior using mixins. For example, you can create two objects with methods and then combine them into a single object.

Can you show me a code example of that?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

const canFly = { fly() { console.log('Flying'); } };
const canSwim = { swim() { console.log('Swimming'); } };

class Duck {
  constructor() {
    Object.assign(this, canFly, canSwim);
  }
}

const duck = new Duck();
duck.fly(); // Flying
duck.swim(); // Swimming

What are the limitations of using mixins?

One limitation is that it can lead to name collisions if multiple mixins have methods with the same name. Additionally, it can make the code harder to understand and maintain.

Are there any libraries that help with multiple inheritance?

Yes, libraries like 'lodash' and 'mixin-deep' can help manage mixins more effectively, allowing for cleaner code.
