I essentially just want to assign the default value of a class variable to an empty array.

I've tried the following, but did not have any luck:

class Test {
    constructor(myArray = []) {
        this.myArray = myArray;
    }
}

Obviously this doesn't work, as when I try to print Test.myArray, undefined is returned rather than an empty array.

CodePudding user response：

You are trying to access Prototype, your class is initialized correctly, just do:

class Test {
    constructor(myArray = []) {
        this.myArray = myArray;
    }
}

const t = new Test();

console.log(t.myArray)

<iframe name="sif1" sandbox="allow-forms allow-modals allow-scripts" frameborder="0"></iframe>

new keyword means, that you are creating a new instance of the Test class.
