Property * does not exist on type typeof * – static parent method

React Native, TypeScript code JS(non-TS) ORM module:

Parent BaseModel:

export default class BaseModel {
  static createTable() {
    ...
  }
  ...

My model of Animal does NOT redefine the method, it’s just defined as:

export default class Animal extends BaseModel { ...

Now this code await Animal.createTable(); actually works, but VSCode TypeScript checker gives following error in code:

Property 'createTable' does not exist on type 'typeof Animal'.ts(2339)

Is this the editor/checker issue? Or should the JS/TS code be defined somehow better?
