If I add more attributes using declare syntax as below:</p><span style="font-family:Monaco;font-size:11px;"><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;">declare User</p><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;">

it gives error "Error
creating field accessors for 'User' for type 'User'". Is there a way, more attributes can be added in existing class using declare syntax? </p><p style="margin:0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;font:11.0px Monaco;">
<br></p><p style="margin:0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;font:11.0px Monaco;">Alternatively, if a class is created by using only declare syntax, can we add equals/hasCode methods dynamically?</p><p style="margin:0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;font:11.0px Monaco;">
