How to create a class array in typescript/ javascript

Question

I have a class car

export class Car{
    no:number;
    name:string;
}

I want to make a class array of type Car[].

let cars: Car[] = new Car[5];

But this is not possible. I do not want to create arrays of type:

let cars: Array<Cars>

Or

let cars = []

As they make variable of type 'Array' but I want the variable type to be 'Car[]'.

Any help will be appreciable.

Answer 1

You can set the type and declare it as an empty array

let cars: Car[] = [];

Answer 2

Here you have:

class Car extends Array {
    constructor(length: number, public no: number, public name: string) {
        super(length);
    }
}

const cars: Car[] = new Car(6, 42, 'Batman');

Please keep in mind, you problem might be an XY problem.

It is a bad practive to extend native built ins.

I have never used smth like that in my code.

I believe you should not do it either.
