call a static method on an instance of a class in typescript

To call a static method on an instance of a class in Typescript, you must reference the class name, followed by the static method name, like so:

index.ts
class MyClass {
  static myStaticMethod() {
    console.log('Hello from myStaticMethod!');
  }
}

const myInstance = new MyClass();
MyClass.myStaticMethod(); // "Hello from myStaticMethod!"
myInstance.myStaticMethod(); // Error: "Property 'myStaticMethod' does not exist on type 'MyClass'"

As shown in the code snippet above, attempting to call a static method on an instance of a class in Typescript would result in a compilation error, as static methods belong to the class itself, rather than its instances. Therefore, it is vital to call static methods directly from the class to avoid errors.
