javascript - ES6: How to access a static getter from an instance

Question

How can i access a static getter from an instance of the class that implements that getter?

for example, i have this class:

class Component {
  static get isComponent() { return true; }

  constructor() {}
}

const c = new Component();

how can i call from "c" "isComponent" of "Component" class? I read around and all I found is something like that:

Object.getPrototypeOf(c).isComponent

but this is not working on my case because there is no "isComponent" method in Component prototype object. The above code works if I write the class like this:

Component.prototype.isComponent = () => { return true; }

but this is not the way i would like to write classes. What am I missing? tnx

statics become properties of the constructor function, which you can access on an instance via the constructor property:

console.log(c.constructor.isComponent);

class Component {
  static get isComponent() { return true; }

  constructor() {}
}

const c = new Component();
console.log(c.constructor.isComponent); // true
