call a setter on an instance of a class in javascript

In JavaScript, setters are functions that are used to assign a value to a property of an object. They are defined in classes using the set keyword. To call a setter on an instance of a class in JavaScript, you need to do the following:

  1. Create an instance of the class using the new keyword.
  2. Call the setter on the instance using dot notation.

Here's an example of how to call a setter on an instance of a class in JavaScript:

index.tsx
class Person {
  constructor(name) {
    this._name = name;
  }

  set name(name) {
    this._name = name;
  }

  get name() {
    return this._name;
  }
}

let person = new Person('John');
person.name = 'Jane'; // calling the setName setter
console.log(person.name); // output: 'Jane'

In the example above, we created a Person class with a name property that has both a getter and a setter. We created an instance of the Person class called person, and then we called the name setter on that instance by setting person.name equal to a new value. This updates the _name property of the Person instance to the new value. Finally, we output the name property using the getter.
