Accessors are only available when targeting ECMAScript 5 and higher

Question

I am trying to run this code but it is giving me following errors:

Animal.ts(10,13): error TS1056: Accessors are only available when targeting ECMAS

Answer 1

Here is a simple solution

tsc file.ts --target ES5 && node file.js 

Note: Ensure you make use of your file name. This would only be applicable for you if the name of your .ts file is file.

I think a cleaner way of writing that code would have been this

class AnimalImpm {
        constructor(private _name?:string){
            this.name = name;
        }

        get name():string{
            return this._name;
        }

        set name(name:string){
            this._name = name;
        }

        sayName():string {
            console.log(`My name is ${this.name}`);
            return "Hello";
        }
    }

let data = new AnimalImpm('Animal');
    data.name;
    data.name = 'newAnimal';
    data.sayName();
