auto getter and setter in TypeScript

Question

I've created this (sort of auto getter and setter) for javaScript but I don't know how to implement this in typeScript

I want to make an Object Oriented version of that if that's possible.

Answer 1

7 years later, TypeScript 4.9 now supports an upcoming ECMAScript feature called "auto accessors":

class MyClass {
  // This property 
  accessor myProperty: boolean = true
}

This does not provide access to the underlying private property, though. You can read up on how these work and why these were introduced here.

Answer 2

Currently, there is no good way to do this. I think you will just need to go the boilerplate-y way:

class Foo {
    private _bar: number;
    get bar() { return this._bar }
    set bar(bar: number) { this._bar = bar}
    // ...
}

If you wanted, you could use an editor snippet to make this a bit less of a pain.
