TypeScript static classes

Question

I wanted to move to TypeScript from traditional JS because I like the C#-like syntax. My problem is that I can\'t find out how to declare static classes in TypeScript.

Answer 1

Abstract classes have been a first-class citizen of TypeScript since TypeScript 1.6. You cannot instantiate an abstract class.

Here is an example:

export abstract class MyClass {         
    public static myProp = "Hello";

    public static doSomething(): string {
      return "World";
    }
}

const okay = MyClass.doSomething();

//const errors = new MyClass(); // Error
