[Contribute guideline](https://github.com/BFEdev/BFE.dev-solutions#how-to-contribute) +In this JavaScript code, we utilize the concept of a mixin to enhance the functionality of `SomePort` instances, which are properties of the `SomeChannel` class. We then create a new class called `BetterChannel` that leverages this mixin to add additional methods to these port objects. + +## Key Concepts + +### Mixins + +Mixins are a way to add properties and methods to objects or classes without using inheritance.
