11/12/2021, 3:11 PMThere’s a problem with having to add class property types because typescript will complain that the property is “definitely not set in the constructor”.

11/12/2021, 5:19 PMIn a pulumi component you do all the work in the constructor, so there is not usually an issue with setting the properties there?

11/12/2021, 5:20 PMyes - you set the properties of the class yourself - in the same way you would for other typescript classes - there is no magic going on with register outputs...

11/12/2021, 6:28 PMIf there's no magic what does it do? My expectation was that it (registerOutputs) would be required so that pulumi could correctly understand the dependency graph. But then if it's doing that, why not set the properties too so I am not having to jump to three places to set an output which is highly error prone (property type, set the property in constructor, call registerOutputs)?
Eg. with psuedo:
Integration { target = myFunctionComponent.lambdaArn }
