title: TypeScript: How do I define a static array of strings in my directive
body: <p>I have a directive for a colorpicker widget. Currently I have defined an array of colors in the scope directly as scope.colorList as shown in the code below. </p>
  
  <p>As per the review comments that I got,I want to declare a static array of colors rather than having to write in scope directly every time the widget is used. </p>
  
  <pre><code>export class MyDirective implements ng.IDirective {
      public link: (scope: IMyScope, element: ng.IAugmentedJQuery, attrs: ng.IAttributes, ngModelCtnr: ng.INgModelController) =&gt; void;
  
  
      constructor() {
          var that = this;
          this.link = (scope: IMyScope, element: ng.IAugmentedJQuery, attrs: ng.IAttributes, ngModelCtnr: ng.INgModelController) =&gt; {
  
              scope.colorList = ["#008b8b;", "#00bfff;", "#1766b5;", "#1768b5;", "#17b566;", "#1a7e55;", "#20b2aa;", "#25a071;", "#3b1153;", "#4f59ea;", "#4fc7ea;", "#522424;", "#633939;", "#6617b5;", "#68c4af;", "#7e1a43;", "#80e56f;", "#8b9dc3;", "#a560d6;", "#b56617;", "#b8860b;", "#ba55d3;", "#c0afaf;", "#c0c0c0;", "#c71585;", "#cd5c5c;", "#cec2e5;", "#dc143c", "#dcedc1;", "#f08080;", "#ff4040;", "#ffa500;", "#faebd7;"];
  
              ....
              });
          };
      }
  
  }
  </code></pre>
