Suggestion
tsc --init
's generated tsconfig.json
should include "useDefineForClassFields": true
Use Cases
All major web and non-web engines now ship Define-style semantics.
So the safest approach is to ensure new TypeScript projects use standard web-compatible behavior.
Examples
It looks like we just need to add one line here. I am happy to send a PR.
Checklist
My suggestion meets these guidelines:
- This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
- This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
- This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
- This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
- This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.
