Description
Prettier 3.8.0
Playground link
--parser typescript
Input:
class A extends ({}).Foo {}
Output:
class A extends {}.Foo {}
Second Output:
SyntaxError: Declaration or statement expected. (1:19)
> 1 | class A extends {}.Foo {}
| ^
2 |
Expected output:
class A extends ({}).Foo {}
Or
class A extends ({}.Foo) {}
Why?
TypeScript can't parse it, even for other parsers that can correctly parse, it still confusing.
This looks like a class property access
class A extends {
Foo
}.Foo
{}

Research direction
Start with the linked Prettier Playground input using the TypeScript parser and compare the current output with the expected parenthesized forms. Done means the formatter preserves parentheses around the object expression so the resulting TypeScript remains parseable and unambiguous.
