Hey man. I've started learning JS again and i have to say i again find myself ending up on your channel a lot, just like the first time when i was learning.
Good content, brotha

[@ToadyEN]

Great video, really well explained!
what font do you use btw?

[@tesstudio]

100% clear, Thanks😀

[@elidvenega3017]

You do a really good job of explaining things.

[@sajaahmed8006]

Explanation more than wonderful
Thank you very much
To make information easy

[@elvislopez6903]

dawg this is the video that did it for me, thanks bro!

[@hatef1725]

Great video man! What extension theme are you using for the color of the text?

[@thedelanyo]

Great 👍🏿 explanation

[@aanders0n]

Great video as usual, cheers!
what's the theme in this video?

[@user-ii9rw1ig8z]

Great video)👍
But silly me didn't really get the underscore part)

[@DarylMalibiran]

Very good explanation

[@dcode-software]

Thanks! Happy it helped you.

[@blackpurple9163]

This improved my incomplete knowledge about getter, setter and the this._name thing

[@poetpenton4392]

could you do an application where we store an object in local storage and get the item. very good. i have been looking for this tutorial

[@dcode-software]

Hey, I've got many videos which use local storage. Do a search on RUclips for "dcode local storage" and you should find a project or two 🙂 good luck!

[@andrew_ortega89]

Is there a way to protect the underscore field from external access? I can still manipulate it directly outside the class.

[@christian-schubert]

Shouldn't be too complicated - just add a hash symbol as a prefix and it becomes inaccessible from outside the class

[@dcode-software]

As others have mentioned you can look at using "private properties" which are a relatively new feature of JavaScript so make sure you check compatibility. Otherwise there are other potential methods such as using closures.

[@hassansyed6087]

Hey Dcode,
How long did it take you to understand JS on a proficient level? Like independently being able to code without reference?
Could you share any learning methods?
Greet video btw
Thanks

[@It_guy613]

I have been on this road for two months now i think, and i pretty much can say that i got all the logic behind it, now is just start to implement, and that, my friend, is the real challange! Ahhahahahah

[@It_guy613]

The thing i still have questions about is REST, making contact with APIs

[@oriarye9117]

more helpful then the other creators

[@elAmigo805]

so underscores are always needed for setters and getters in classes? is it like a reserved character?

[@dcode-software]

No it's not a reserved character, it's simply just convention.

[@pawelczar]

@@dcode-software so does it mean "_name" could be also named as "dog" for setter and gatter?

[@ammarhassan_]

how does _name work when it is name in constructor?

[@N1rOx]

Anyone know why his framerate on vscode appears so smooth?

[@moneyfr]

Good video but I need to check video on _variable

[@dcode-software]

It's just a naming convention - it's no hard rule.

[@davesharma8946]

All of this can be done on an object with a object method just as same
So what is the point of using getters?

[@babicunlo3638]

i still can't see how this is useful in any way. can't you just do your validation/handling inside the constructor and call it a day? what is the advantage here? or am i really dumb? please enlighten me

[@hrithikvishwakarma001]

your theme name please

[@dcode-software]

Hey, theme name is "docde". Search it on the marketplace!

[@sulejmanzekotic183]

aren't getters and setters same as defining methods on an object

[@suelingsusu1339]

👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏🙏🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖

Glad you liked it 🙂

[@Tracer73866]

5:38 I'm yet to find an explanation to why we use "=" sign here and not write it like "person.primaryInterest("Home Automation")"
