Is it better to extend a Phaser.Sprite or aggereate with it?

Is it better for a game entity to contain a sprite, or be the sprite? Which does Phaser play nicer with?

if you want to pass the entity to any Phaser calls then it needs to either be a Sprite or support all Sprite's properties (including functions) so that it looks identical to a Sprite. if you're okay with passing 'entity.sprite' (or whatever) to any method that expects a Sprite, then you're free to do things that way. 

 

overall though, I think you'll have less trouble if you either extend Sprite or use Sprite objects directly.

I might extend sprite, I'm just afraid of having too much junk.
