+# construct-new
+Like the new operator, but as a function for convenience and familiarity.
+
+## Usage
+What you would normally do:
+```js
+class Foo {
+  constructor(name) {
+    this.name = name
+  }
+  print() {
+    console.log("Hi, I am " + this.name)
+  }
+}
+const myFoo = new Foo("bar")
+myFoo.print() // output: Hi, I am bar
+```
+What you would do with this:
+```js
+const construct = require('construct-new')
+class Foo {
+  constructor(name) {
+    this.name = name
+  }
+  print() {
+    console.log("Hi, I am " + this.name)
+  }
+}
+const myFoo = construct({
+  target: Foo,
+  args: ["bar"]
+})
+
+myFoo.print() // Hi, I am bar
+```
+or
+```js
+construct({
+  target: Foo,
+  args: ["bar"],
+  callback: (myFoo) => {
+    myFoo.print() // Hi, I am bar
+  }
+})
+```
