TypeScript class method as property

Is there a way to use a method as a property in TypeScript?

Like, for example, in Python @property decorator

You can use an accessor property, like this:

class Example {
    get name(): string {
        return "Fred";
    }
}

Example on the TypeScript playground

That's an accessor property that only has a getter. You can also define a setter:

class Example {
    private _name: string = "";

    get name(): string {
        return this._name;
    }

    set name(name: string) {
        this._name = name;
    }
}

(You don't have to store the value in a TypeScript-style private member, that's just an example.)

Technically, you can have an accessor with a setter and no getter (a write-only property).
