Typescript: How to call a variable not using "this" everywhere

Question

As the example below, how to avoid write "this" everywhere, is there a way to write heroes, myHero,lastone without "this" ? Just like common javascript

It is possible (with certain shenanigans) but it doesn't make sense. So stick to traditional notation. — dfsq

@PardeepJain replace this to xyz is meaningless, I just want to write variable directly — Awakening

When you use a class you are dealing with properties and methods, not variables and functions. That's why this is required - it refers to the instance of a class.

You can still use local variables and functions inside class methods, but if you need to access class (instance) property or call it's methods you have to use this.

You can declare your variable out of your class:

var heroes = {...}
class AppC {
    test() {
        //heroes 
    }
}

I DO NOT advise to do that.
