Information hiding in ES6 classes

Implementing the information hiding principle using the ES6 syntax enhancements is not so different. As we said when introducing them, ES6 classes are nothing more than a new syntactic approach to define constructors and methods for our objects. The major benefits include a more concise syntax and the application of the best practices in the internal implementation of object creation.

var TheatreSeats = (function() { "use strict"; var priv = new WeakMap(); var _= function(instance) ...
