This doesn't work. Is there a way for a child class in JS to have access to its parents static methods?
class Person {
constructor() {}
static isHuman() {
return 'yes I am';
}
}
class Brian extends Person {
constructor() {
super();
}
greeting() {
console.log(super.isHuman())
}
}
const b = new Brian();
b.greeting();

No, is not possible. It doesn't make sense. You need to understand how the static members work. read more about it here

Yes you can. You can use super but to get at the static method you have to access the constructor property of it:
super.constructor.isHuman()
You can also use the class name directly:
Person.isHuman();
//this works because Brian inherits the static methods from Person
Brian.isHuman();
Or by going up the prototype chain
//would be referencing Brian
this.constructor.isHuman();
//would be referencing Person
this.__proto__.constructor.isHuman();
Object.getPrototypeOf(this).constructor.isHuman();
Demo
class Person {
constructor() {}
static isHuman() {
return 'yes I am';
}
}
class Brian extends Person {
constructor() {
super();
}
greeting() {
console.log("From super: ", super.constructor.isHuman())
console.log("From class name (Brian): ", Brian.isHuman())
console.log("From class name (Person): ", Person.isHuman())
console.log("From prototype chain: ", this.constructor.isHuman())
console.log("From prototype chain: ", Object.getPrototypeOf(this).constructor.isHuman())
}
}

For static methods, use the class name rather than super.
class Person {
constructor() {}
static isHuman() {
return 'yes I am';
}
}
class Brian extends Person {
constructor() {
super();
}
greeting() {
console.log(Person.isHuman())
}
}
