Suggestion: allow get/set accessors to be of different types #2521
Description
It would be great if there was a way to relax the current constraint of requiring get/set accessors to have the same type. this would be helpful in a situation like this:
class MyClass {
private _myDate: moment.Moment;
get myDate(): moment.Moment {
return this._myDate;
}
set myDate(value: Date | moment.Moment) {
this._myDate = moment(value);
}
}
Currently, this does not seems to be possible, and I have to resort to something like this:
class MyClass {
private _myDate: moment.Moment;
get myDate(): moment.Moment {
return this._myDate;
}
set myDate(value: moment.Moment) {
assert.fail('Setter for myDate is not available. Please use: setMyDate() instead');
}
setMyDate(value: Date | moment.Moment) {
this._myDate = moment(value);
}
}
This is far from ideal, and the code would be much cleaner if different types would be allowed.
Thanks!
