Classes

TypeScriptToLua allows classes to be used!

class Player {}
const p = new Player();

Classes can contain methods and properties.

class Player {
    private body: Body;
    constructor() {
        this.body = love.physics.newBody(...);
    }
    spawn() {}
}

They can extend each other.

class PlayerExtended extends Player {}

They can use interfaces to ensure certain members exist in the class.

class Player implements Entity { ... }

And they are also identifiable with instanceof.

function spawnEntity(entity: Entity): void {
    if (entity instanceof Player) {
        // TS knows entity is a Player!
        entity.spawn();
    }
}
