+# Ensures that literals on classes are exposed in a consistent style (`class-literal-property-style`)
+
+When writing TypeScript applications, it's typically safe to store literal values on classes using fields with the `readonly` modifier to prevent them from being reassigned.
+When writing TypeScript libraries that could be used by Javascript users however, it's typically safer to expose these literals using `getter`s, since the `readonly` modifier is enforced at compile type.
+
+## Rule Details
+
+This rule aims to ensure that literals exposed by classes are done so consistently, in one of the two style described above.
+By default this rule prefers the `fields` style as it means JS doesn't have to setup & teardown a function closure.
+
+Note that this rule only checks for constant _literal_ values (string, template string, number, bigint, boolean, regexp, null). It does not check objects or arrays, because a readonly field behaves differently to a getter in those cases. It also does not check functions, as it is a common pattern to use readonly fields with arrow function values as auto-bound methods.
+This is because these types can be mutated and carry with them more complex implications about their usage.
+
+#### The `fields` style
+
+This style checks for any getter methods that return literal values, and requires them to be defined using fields with the `readonly` modifier instead.
+
+Examples of **correct** code with the `fields` style:
+
+```ts
+/* eslint @typescript-eslint/class-literal-property-style: ["error", "fields"] */
+
+class Mx {
+  public readonly myField1 = 1;
+
+  // not a literal
+  public readonly myField2 = [1, 2, 3];
+
+  private readonly ['myField3'] = 'hello world';
+
+  public get myField4() {
+    return `hello from ${window.location.href}`;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Examples of **incorrect** code with the `fields` style:
+
+```ts
+/* eslint @typescript-eslint/class-literal-property-style: ["error", "fields"] */
+
+class Mx {
+  public static get myField1() {
+    return 1;
+  }
+
+  private get ['myField2']() {
+    return 'hello world';
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### The `getters` style
+
+This style checks for any `readonly` fields that are assigned literal values, and requires them to be defined as getters instead.
+This style pairs well with the [`@typescript-eslint/prefer-readonly`](prefer-readonly.md) rule,
+as it will identify fields that can be `readonly`, and thus should be made into getters.
+
+Examples of **correct** code with the `getters` style:
+
+```ts
+/* eslint @typescript-eslint/class-literal-property-style: ["error", "getters"] */
+
+class Mx {
+  // no readonly modifier
+  public myField1 = 'hello';
+
+  // not a literal
+  public readonly myField2 = [1, 2, 3];
+
+  public static get myField3() {
+    return 1;
+  }
+
+  private get ['myField4']() {
+    return 'hello world';
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Examples of **incorrect** code with the `getters` style:
+
+```ts
+/* eslint @typescript-eslint/class-literal-property-style: ["error", "getters"] */
+
+class Mx {
+  readonly myField1 = 1;
+  readonly myField2 = `hello world`;
+  private readonly myField3 = 'hello world';
+}
+```
+
+## When Not To Use It
+
+When you have no strong preference, or do not wish to enforce a particular style
+for how literal values are exposed by your classes.
