Calling static method from constructor es6 [duplicate]

Question

When I am trying to call a static method from constructor in javascript it says the method doesn't exist.

class TestClass {

    constructor(){
        this.staticMethod();
    }

    static staticMethod() {

    }
}

This works fine if i try to call a normal method from constructor. If static methods belongs to class instead of instance why it's not allowing them to call from constructor?

Answer 1

this.constructor.staticMethod()

can be used to avoid referring to the class directly (particularly useful for class inheritance and pasted code).

Answer 2

You have to call it like this:

TestClass.staticMethod()
