referring to parent or grandparent class instance properties
How do you all refer to parent or grandparent (or related) class instances and their properties?
I have a bunch of classes that create instances of other classes as properties. Suppose ClassA has properties that are instances of ClassB, ClassC, and ClassD, and the ClassD class has properties ClassD1 through ClassD9, and each of those is a different class instance with various methods.
Currently, when I start with myClassAObject and I call one of its ClassD9 methods and that method needs a property from its uncle ClassB, I feel awkward and/or dumb for doing this by passing myClassAObject to that method:
const returnval = myClassAObject.itsClassDObject.theClassD9method(myClassAObject);
…and then that method gets the property from myClassAObject.itsClassBObject.theProperty
I know this functions, but it shouts “inelegant” every time I do it. Do y’all know a more elegant way? TIA
