override a static method on a subclass in typescript

To override a static method on a subclass in TypeScript, you can define a new implementation of the static method on the subclass. This can be achieved by using the static keyword and referring to the base class using the super keyword.

Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates how to override a static method on a subclass in TypeScript:

index.ts
class Animal {
  static getClassName() {
    return "Animal";
  }
}

class Dog extends Animal {
  static getClassName() {
    return "Dog";
  }
}

console.log(Animal.getClassName()); // Output: "Animal"
console.log(Dog.getClassName()); // Output: "Dog"

15 lines

In this example, the Animal class defines a static method getClassName(), which returns the name of the class. The Dog class extends the Animal class and overrides the getClassName() method to return "Dog" instead of "Animal".

To call the static method on a class, you can use the class name followed by the method name, like Animal.getClassName() or Dog.getClassName().
