Following up our discussion via Twitter I thought this is a better place to discuss my feature suggestion.
Desired feature (known from Visual Studio with C#):
Constructor generation: https://streamable.com/xbnna
Step 1: Select desired class properties which shall be initialized with the constructor
Step 2: Press ctrl + .
Step 3: Generate constructor
What one could do instead with TypeScript:
I am not sure what you meant at Twitter by saying you don't need a constructor at all if I use proper initializers? Did you mean something like using Partials?
class Person {
public name: string = "default"
public address: string = "default"
public age: number = 0;
public constructor(init?:Partial<Person>) {
Object.assign(this, init);
}
}
let persons = [
new Person(),
new Person({}),
new Person({name:"John"}),
new Person({address:"Earth"}),
new Person({age:20, address:"Earth", name:"John"}),
];
That wouldn't give me the strict type safety I'd like to get, hence I still believe this is a valid feature request. Maybe you can enlighten me what I am missing here, if there is a better way to solve this common constructor issue in TypeScript?
