call a public static method on an instance of a class in javascript

In JavaScript, a static method is a method that belongs to the class rather than the instance of the class. It can be called on the class itself, but not on an instance of the class. If you want to call a static method on an instance of the class, you need to use the class name explicitly.

Here's an example:

index.tsx
class MyClass {
  static myStaticMethod() {
    console.log('This is a static method.');
  }

  myMethod() {
    console.log('This is an instance method.');
  }
}

const myInstance = new MyClass();

// Call a static method on the class
MyClass.myStaticMethod(); // Output: "This is a static method."

// Call an instance method on an instance of the class
myInstance.myMethod(); // Output: "This is an instance method."

// Call a static method on an instance of the class (not recommended)
myInstance.constructor.myStaticMethod(); // Output: "This is a static method."

In the last example, we're using the constructor property of the instance to access the class itself, and then calling the static method on the class. However, this is not recommended as it can be confusing and is not good practice. It's better to call static methods on the class itself whenever possible.
