const on Angular2 with Typescript

Question

Why when trying to declare a const I get error:

Expecting new line or semicolon

export class MyClass{

    const ALLOC_INVESTORS = "Allocation Investors";

}

If you try it on the Playground it will tell you that const cannot be used in a class declaration. — Heretic Monkey

@MikeMcCaughan what would be the alternative for const inside a typescript class? — CommonSenseCode

in case anyone needs. instead of const, use readonly.

readonly ALLOC_INVESTORS:string = "Allocation Investors";
