How do I override inherited methods when using JavaScript ES6/ES2015 subclassing

by

The solution I found was to create a new function in the subclass that has the same name as the inherited function. In this case push. Then inside the overriding function the inherited function is called via the super keyword.

class newArray extends Array{
    push(value) {
        //execute any logic require before pushing value onto array
        console.log(`pushed ${value} on to array`)
        super.push(value)
    }    
}

var array = new newArray

array.push('new Value')
