ES6 - Call static method within a class

Question

I have this class which does an internal call to a static method:

export class GeneralHelper extends BaseHelper{
     static is(env){
          return config         


        

Answer 1

Both of the answers here are correct and good, but I wanted to throw in an added detail based on this question title.

When I saw "ES6 - Call static method within a class" it sounded like "call a static method (from a non-static method) within a class". Def not what the initial question asker is asking in the details.

But for anyone who wants to know how to call a static method from a non-static method within a class you can do it like this:

class MyClass {
    myNonStaticMethod () {
        console.log("I'm not static.")
        MyClass.myStaticMethod()
    }

    static myStaticMethod () {
        console.log("hey, I'm static!")
    }
}

MyClass.myStaticMethod() // will log "hey, I'm static!"

const me = new MyClass()

me.myNonStaticMethod() // will log "I'm not static" and then "hey, I'm static!"

The idea is that the static method is can be called without creating a new instance of the class. That means you can call it inside of a instance's method the same way you'd call it outside of the instance.

Again, I know that's not what the detail of the question was asking for, but this could be helpful other people.
