Indexed access is not supported for fields

Rule arkts-no-props-by-index

Severity: error

ArkTS does not support dynamic field declaration and access. Declare all object fields immediately in the class. Access only those class fields that are either declared in the class, or accessible via inheritance. Accessing any other fields is prohibited, and causes compile-time errors.

To access a field, use obj.field syntax, indexed access (obj["field"]) is not supported. An exception are:

• All typed arrays from the standard library (for example, Int32Array), which support access to their elements through container[index] syntax.
• Tuples.
• Records.
• Enums.

    class Point {
        x: number = 0
        y: number = 0
    }
    let p: Point = {x: 1, y: 2}
    console.log(p["x"])

    class Person {
        name: string = ""
        age: number = 0; // semicolon is required here
        [key: string]: string | number
    }

    let person: Person = {
