Does typescript have auto-properties yet?

Question

I've head that in typescript, properties can be defined the way the are in C# with auto setter and getter. Although I haven't been able to implement properties this way as the intellisense says no such syntax is supported by typescript, I couldn't find any proper example for implementing auto-properties either. All I could find about this suggested declaring methods with get and set modifiers next to them which is by no means similar to anything in C# or even automatic. So is there any auto-properties in typescript?

Answer 1

No, TypeScript does not support C#-like auto properties. You have to declare getters and setters with your the usual JS syntax.

While there has been proposals for auto-properties support, none have been accepted. The gist is that this detracts from trying to move TS towards where JS should be, and is unlikely to ever be supported.

Answer 2

Type in VSCode prop and press the "Tab" key.

Property will be generated:

export class Person
{
    private _name: string;
    public get Name(): string
    {
        return this._name;
    }
    public set Name(v: string)
    {
        this._name = v;
    }
}
