Question by Statement · Mar 12, 2011 at 06:46 PM · propertiesjavascript-specificlanguage-comparison

Can I declare properties in JS?

In C#, I can declare properties like so:

public int Health
{
    get { return _health; }
    protected set { _health = value; }
}

  • Does JS also support properties?
  • If so, how can I declare them?

I already know I can just have Get/Set functions but that is not what I am after.

Yes, but you have to do it in explicitly declared classes

class Test extends MonoBehaviour
{
    var moo = 1;
    function get Moo() : int { return moo; }
    function set Moo(value : int) { moo = value; }
}

That is then accessible the same way as c# properties ( blah.Moo )

If you try it with implicit classes you'll get some fantastically odd errors

Another caveat - you can't do static properties

Why does each of these produce: It is not possible to invoke an expression of type 'float'.

var a : Foo; function Start() { print(a.bar()); a.bar(12.3); }

@efreet: This code above will create a property and can't be used like functions. You have to use the property this way:

 class Test extends $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour
 {
     var moo = 1;
     function get $$anonymous$$oo() : int { return moo; }
     function set $$anonymous$$oo(value : int) { moo = value; }
 }
 
 // Somewhere else
 var a : Test;   // assigned in the inspector or elsewhere
 
 // Use it this way:
 a.$$anonymous$$oo = 10;                 // this will call the set method
 print("$$anonymous$$oo is: " + a.$$anonymous$$oo);  // this will call the get method

If you actually want real functions, don't use the get and set keywords.
