# Decorators in TypeScript
## Overview
Decorators are an experimental feature of TypeScript (and also a JavaScript
stage 2 feature, meaning they will be soon included in standard JS) allowing
you to inject specific behaviors to classes, properties, methods, accessors
or parameters.
This features allow some kind of meta-programming and dependency injection,
called at runtime.
This is mainly used in libs to add specific behaviors to your own code.
For example, [TypeORM](https://typeorm.io/), an ORM lib, use this feature to give a nice way for
users to annotate their models, the dedicated char to use decorator is `@` :
```typescript
@Entity()
export class Person {
@PrimaryGeneratedColumn()
id: number;
@Column()
lastname: string;
}
```
## Example
This features needs to be explicitly set as enabled in your `tsconfig.json` :
```json
"experimentalDecorators": true
```
Decorators are just functions, for example, here is a property decorator
```typescript
class Decorator {
// Call to the emoji decorator with a string passed as argument
@emoji("🦍")
name: string = "";
constructor(name: string) {
this.name = name;
}
}
// The actual decorator code, this is, in fact a decorator factory
// It's a high order function returning the actual decorator
// It's a common and nice way to have access to a larger scope to
// play with the args passed as params (emojo, here)
function emoji(emojo: string) {
// Return the actual decorator
return function (target: any, key: string) {
// get the actual value
let val = target[key];
// customize getter
const getter = () => {
return val;
}
// and setter, to add some nice emojos
const setter = (next: string) => {
val = ${emojo} ${next} ${emojo};
}
// Apply thoose changes to the actual object property
Object.defineProperty(target, key, {
get: getter,
set: setter,
enumerable: true,
configurable: true
});
}
}
const example = new Decorator("hello");
console.log(example.name);
```
Even if this example is quite useless, it gives an overview of the
possibilities of this feature.
