typescript/no-misused-new Correctness
What it does
Enforce valid definition of new
and constructor
Why is this bad?
JavaScript classes may define a constructor method that runs when a class instance is newly created.
TypeScript allows interfaces that describe a static class object to define a new()
method (though this is rarely used in real world code). Developers new to JavaScript classes and/or TypeScript interfaces may sometimes confuse when to use constructor or new.
Example
typescript
declare class C {
new(): C;
}
interface I {
new (): I;
constructor(): void;
}
