Inheritance method call triggers Typescript compiler error

Question

I am having an issue with webstorm typescript compiler. I have the following classes

export class rootData{
  id:string
  //...

  constructor(){
    //...
         


        

Answer 1

You could create an "internal" method that is protected that actually performs the logic. Since you can't call it outside of the class, the this will always be in the correct context.

export class rootData{
  id:string
  //...

  constructor(){
    //...
  }

  insert = ():Promise =>{
    return this.insertInternal();
  }

  protected insertInternal():Promise{
    //...
  }
}

class child extends rootData {
  //...   

  constructor(){
     super();
  }

  protected insertInternal():Promise {
        return super.insertInternal();
    }
}
