I have a long code with a lot method, but since I am on stackoverflow I will add to you a simple minimal example here (is not the final, but I hope show you the bug):
I have a code like this:
class MyClass {
constructor() {
this.myMethod();
}
myMethod() {
console.log("hello world!")
}
}
new MyClass();and this code is ok.
the method runs once.
but if I call it more than 2+ times it will run the method another time.
/* other code */
new MyClass();
new MyClass();
new MyClass();
new MyClass();
new MyClass();
// wrong output:
hello world
hello world
hello world
...
// desired output (only one time)
hello world
if you are interested in why run one time. this is because I want that the class created some Ui elements at the first but then get the generated ui and change the things with the given parameters in constructor
check this documentation: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Classes/static
there is a keyword for classes that do this thing called static
class MyClass {
// no () just static and { your code }
static {
console.log("called once");
}
myOtherMethod() {
console.log("run when I want or every time")
}
}
/* other code */
new MyClass();
new MyClass();
new MyClass();
new MyClass();
new MyClass();
