Spreading an instance of a class does not duplicate the method.

ts

class Greeter {
  greeting: string;

  constructor(message: string) {
    this.greeting = message;
  }

  greet() {
    return "Hello, " + this.greeting;
  }
}

const x: Greeter = new Greeter("world");
const y: Greeter = { ...x };
// Property 'greet' is missing in type '{ greeting: string; }' but required in type 'Greeter'.

This page is auto-translated from /nishio/クラスのインスタンスをspreadしてもメソッドは複製されない using DeepL. If you looks something interesting but the auto-translated English is not good enough to understand it, feel free to let me know at @nishio_en. I'm very happy to spread my thought to non-Japanese readers.
