Inheritance Support #50

Open marwanf1 opened 3 years ago

marwanf1 commented 3 years ago

Is there any plan to support inheritance in entities? If it is currently supported, is there any example that shows such usage?

For now, the recommended way is to use protocols for common behavior and duplicate the properties in each type. At some point we'll consider some limited inheritance, e.g. define base classes (similar to what we do in Java) to avoid code duplication.
