How to define static property in TypeScript interface

Question

I just want to declare a static property in typescript interface? I have not found anywhere regarding this.

interface myInterface {
  static         


        

Answer 1

The other solutions seem to stray from the blessed path and I found that my scenario was covered in the Typescript documentation which I've paraphrased below:

interface AppPackageCheck<T> {
  new (packageExists: boolean): T
  checkIfPackageExists(): boolean;
}

class WebApp {
    public static checkIfPackageExists(): boolean {
        return false;
    }

    constructor(public packageExists: boolean) {}
}

class BackendApp {
    constructor(public packageExists: boolean) {}
}

function createApp<T>(type: AppPackageCheck<T>): T {
    const packageExists = type.checkIfPackageExists();
    return new type(packageExists)
}

let web = createApp(WebApp);

// compiler failure here, missing checkIfPackageExists
let backend = createApp(BackendApp); 

Answer 2

Static modifiers cannot appear on a type member (TypeScript error TS1070). That's why I recommend to use an abstract class to solve the mission:

Example

// Interface definition
abstract class MyInterface {
  static MyName: string;
  abstract getText(): string;
}

// Interface implementation
class MyClass extends MyInterface {
  static MyName = 'TestName';
  getText(): string {
    return `This is my name static name "${MyClass.MyName}".`;
  }
}

// Test run
const test: MyInterface = new MyClass();
console.log(test.getText());
