I have this TypeScript class:
export class UserCredentials {
public name: string;
static getName() {
return this.name;
}
}
When I remove the static everything works fine. But with it, I have the following compiler error : Property 'name' does not exist on type 'typeof UserCredentials'.
In static method you cant access "this" instance or its properties. Mark your field with "static" modifier to make it work:
public static name: string;
In this kind of situations you must only (if you don't want make property 'name' static) create new instance inside static method
export class UserCredentials {
public name: string;
static getName() {
const userCredentials = new UserCredentials(); // <--- create this
return userCredentials.name;
}
}
