### Auto-Accessors

By adding the `accessor` keyword in front of a class field, you can define a getter and a setter at once:

```ts twoslash
class Person {
accessor name = "";
}
```

The above is roughly equivalent to:

```ts twoslash
class Person {
#name = "";

get name() {
return this.#name;
}

set name(value) {
this.#name = value;
}
}
```

### Index Signatures

Classes can declare index signatures; these work the same as [Index Signatures for other object types](/docs/handbook/2/objects.html#index-signatures):
