static Array in typescript

Question

Hi I am new to Typescript and I need to use static array in my code. But when I declared array as follows

private static arrayname:String[];

When I typed this. it didn't show me the array name so I can't able to push any values into this array. Can any one help me in this?

You should use class name instead of "this":

class A {
    private static arrayname: string[] = ["a", "b", "c"];

    someFunc(): number {
        return A.arrayname.length; // Here I'm calling private statis property
    }
}


var instanceA = new A();
alert(instanceA.someFunc());

This code works for me in the Typescript playground.

Note

You can use private member inside class functions only. It isn't accessible and visible outside the class declared in.
