How to use get and set in TypeScript?
To use get and set in TypeScript, we can put it in a class.
For instance, we write:
class Foo {
private _bar: boolean = false;
get bar(): boolean {
return this._bar;
}
set bar(value: boolean) {
this._bar = value;
}
}
to add a bar instance variable with get and set.
In get bar, we return the value of this._bar.
And we add set bar to set the value of this._bar to `value.
get is used for creating getter instance variables.
And set is used creatring setter instance variables.
We can then set bar with
const myFoo = new foo();
myFoo.bar = false;
and get bar with myFoo.bar.
