Expected behavior:
TS documentation should mention that
--strictNullChecks
flag is needed for--strictPropertyInitialization
one to actually have an effect.This would properly document the actual code change in this commit :
This was clearly mentionned in the corresponding PR description.
Also @mihailik suggested that a warning could also be emitted. Has this been done?
Actual behavior:
This is mentioned nowhere in the documentation.
Documentation for
--strictPropertyInitialization
is Ensure non-undefined class properties are initialized in the constructor..To determine if a class property is non-undefined,
--strictNullChecks
flag must be turned on.Playground Link:
