Inheritance
Inheritance is supported for properties when both the base and the extended class is marked with the
@Service() decorator. Classes which extend a class with decorated properties will receive the initialized class instances on those properties upon creation.1

const instance = Container.get(ExtendedClass);
23
// instance has the `name` property with "ExtendedClass" value (overwritten the base class)
24
// and the `injectedClass` property with the instance of the `InjectedClass` class

console.log(instance.injectedClass.name);

// logs "InjectedClass"
28
console.log(instance.name);

// logs "ExtendedClass"
