@override

Syntax​

@override

Overview​

@override documents that a method intentionally replaces a method of the same name in a parent class. This helps readers understand the inheritance chain and signals that the override is deliberate.

TypeScript Supported

TypeScript recognises @override to flag that a method intentionally overrides a parent class method in JavaScript files.
