Access constructor value of another class in node.js

I got the following problem :

1) Two classes in class.js

Class1 {

   //here the constructor

   constructor(connection){

   this.connection = connection

}

  //here a class1 prop

  returnConnection(){

    return this.connection

  }
}

// class 2

Class2 extends Class1 {

  getClass1ConstructorConnection{

   return super.returnConnection();

 }
}

module.exports = {Class1, Class2}

Now in my route file I declare class1

var { Class1 } = require(./class.js);
var { Class2 } = require(./class.js);
var class1Object = new Class1({connectionObj})

And after that, i declare class2

var class2Object = new Class2();

if I try to console.log class2 prop like this

console.log(class2Object.getClass1ConstructorConnection())

It gets undefined.

Now, I know the best would be to declare the connectionObj as a native constructor of class 2, but for a bunch of reasons I can't, so, is there a way to inherit a constructor variable value by a parent class after its declaration in the main app workflow?

Thank you for your help!

Because you never pass the connection to the base class. You have to pass your connection to the constructor

var class2Object = new Class2({connectionObj});
