在 Typescript 中访问对象的类的 static 方法？

Question

class Base {
  static f(){console.log('Base')}
}

class A extends Base {
  static f(){console.log('A')}
}

class B extends Base {
  static f(){console.log('B')}
}

let obj: A|B = new A()

obj.<what to put here>.f()

I don't know the exact class for obj, I need to print A or just call f() for correct class of obj.

I don't need just the class name, that is for example. I am doing more complex things.

prototype, typeof, constructor all seem to be syntax errors.

Both Object.getPrototypeOf() (replacement to the now deprecated Object.prototype.__proto__ ) or Object.prototype.constructor should work:

Object.getPrototypeOf(obj).constructor.f();

obj.constructor.f();

Actually:

Object.getPrototypeOf(obj).constructor === obj.constructor; // true

Here you can see the compiled source in action:

 class Base { static f() { console.log('Base'); } } class A extends Base { static f() { console.log('A'); } } class B extends Base { static f() { console.log('B'); } } const objBase = new Base(); const objA = new A(); const objB = new B(); Object.getPrototypeOf(objBase).constructor.f(); objBase.constructor.f(); Object.getPrototypeOf(objA).constructor.f(); objA.constructor.f(); Object.getPrototypeOf(objB).constructor.f(); objB.constructor.f(); console.log(Object.getPrototypeOf(objB).constructor === objB.constructor); console.log(Object.getPrototypeOf(objB) === B.prototype);

 .as-console-wrapper { max-height: none;important; }

Note static properties exist in classes but not in instances.

Therefore, if you want to go from obj to its prototype, you should call Object.getPrototypeOf(obj) , not obj.prototype , which is a completely different thing.

The .prototype property only exists in functions and, when instantiating a new object using new and a call to that constructor function ( new A() ), will become the newly created object's prototype (the deprecated .__proto__ ).

In your example:

obj.prototype;                // undefined
A;                            // class A { static f() { ... } }
A.protoype;                   // { constructor: class A { ... } }
A.protoype.constructor;       // class A { static f() { ... } }
A.protoype.constructor === A; // true
obj.constructor;              // class A { static f() { ... } }
obj.constructor === A;        // true

Object.getPrototypeOf(obj) === A.prototype; // true
