static method

[vclteam]

dont u think that public static method should appers on other classes?

With other classes you mean subclasses? Something like this:

class A {
    // The static method
    static foo():string { return 'bar'; }
}

class B extends A {
    // Document foo here
}

B.foo();

This is no valid TypeScript as TypeScript does not inherit static methods, the compiler will generate the following error:

The property 'foo' does not exist on value of type 'new() => B'

as far as i know this is not the case, will check it later but :

@vclteam is right, and I had no idea this was the case! True for methods and fields. Nasty.

class A {
    // The static method
    static foo():string { return 'bar'; }
    static bar: string = "foo";
}

class B extends A {
    // Document foo here
}

console.log(B.foo());
console.log(B.bar);

Compiling/running (TS 1.4):

$ tsc test.ts
$ node test.js
bar
foo

And this means that B has a separate, implicitly inherited bar field from A.

Actually TypeDoc behaves like this since v.0.2, static fields and methods are now inherited and I've also added the corresponding icons.
