When to use get property and inline function for TypeScript properties

I have a simple component class as follows:



import Component from '@angular/core';
import ControlService from '../services/control-service';

@Component(
templateUrl: './control-bar.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./control-bar.component.less']
)
export class ControlBarComponent
get context(): any return this.controls.context;
constructor(private controls: ControlService)
is(contextName)
return this.context.constructor.name == contextName;




The problem arises when I try to write a unit test for the given code. I get the following error:




TypeError: Cannot read property 'constructor' of undefined
at ControlBarComponent../ src / app / courses / control
- bar.component.ts.ControlBarComponent.is(http://localhost:9876/
_karma_webpack_/webpack:/src/app/courses/control-bar.component.ts:12:33)
at Object.eval[as updateDirectives]
(ng:///DynamicTestModule/ControlBarComponent.ngfactory.js:111:25)




After playing around tod and trying find an answer I try the following code which no longer throws an error.



// Same except for the following line 
context = () => this.controls.context;
// replaces
get context(): any return this.controls.context;


So are there any drawbacks to this solution? And if so, when should I use these two code constructs?

  • I think that's workaround solution what you need here is create mock ControlService and pass when you get the instance of component

  • what is the provider section in your spec file ? Share the code of spec files. The error is caused by this.context.constructor.name line as this.context is not defined
