Define Static Method

Define Static Method is a simple utility for defining a static method in ES5 with the same property descriptor as an ES2015 class method.

Install

Install with npm:

npm install --save define-static-method

Usage

In ES2015, we might do this:

class Squid {
  constructor(name) {
    this.name = name;
  }
  static createVladimir() {
    return new Squid('Vladimir');
  }
}

In ES5, we can do this:

var defineStatic = require('define-static-method');
 
function Squid(name) {
  this.name = name;
}
 
defineStatic(Squid, 'createVladimir', function() {
  return new Squid('Vladimir');
});

And here is Vladimir:

Squid.createVladimir().name; // -> 'Vladimir'

API
