The getter is just another syntactic-sugar to reach into objects. It's equivalent to using the dot notation like person.name but it provides the ability for you to:
watch when objects are being accessed (in general, this is how Vue.js detects changes)
dynamically create return objects
It enables you to do both of those without changing the syntax.

Getters are usually used to create dynamic properties because it is a function you can write logic e.g you can read value of a property from a file or from database.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Without the
static, you have to instantiate the class before you will be able to access the getter.It might just be better to create an object straight up in that instance.
right. I was asking about what the getter is doing in-general. I'm sure it's something, but what?
