A simple tutorial on the new JavaScript Public Class Fields
In the past, to create a public class field we would have used this syntax, instantiating the field in the constructor:
class Counter {
constructor() {
this.count = 0
}
}
The new class fields proposal, which you can use since Chrome 72 and Node 12, allows us to use this syntax:
class Counter {
count = 0
}
Much simpler!
