TIL a fancy word for auto-generating objects, A Factory Function

POSTED ON: Dec 27, 2021

So a factory function creates objects.

something like

function makeNewMage(theName) {

  const newMage = {
    name: theName,
    magic: 100,
    spell: 'fireball';
  }

  return newMage;

  };

const JakeTheMage = makeNewMage('Jake')
const SarahtheMage = makeNewMage('Sarah')

There's no real magic to it.
