typescript类装饰器：在装饰器函数中定义的类型属性

Question

bar is a simple class decorator that adds a property to the class Foo.

function bar(target) {
    target.inDecorator = 'in decorator';
}

@bar
class Foo {
    inClass:string;
    inDecorator:string;
    constructor() {
        this.inClass = 'a string';
    }

    getInClass() {
        return this.inClass;
    }
}

console.log(Foo.inDecorator);
console.log(Foo.prototype.inDecorator);
const foo = new Foo();
console.log(foo.getInClass());
console.log(foo.inDecorator);

The only console log that causes an error is the first, Foo.inDecorator, the inclusion of which in ts 1.5.3 gives

Property 'inDecorator' does not exist on type 'typeof Foo'.

As far as I can tell inDecorator should be defined on the prototype of Class Foo and should be available on Foo as if it were a static prop. Running the resulting js file reveals undefined for the prototype access as well as on the new foo object, however Foo.inDecorator prints correctly even though it is the source of the error. To be more clear, we get

in decorator
undefined
a string
undefined

Any ideas on how to correctly type/add a static prop or method?

Thanks!

Edited this as I originally overlooked the fact that prototype access, Foo.prototype.inDecorator was not working.

Within the decorator target refers to the function— Foo —rather than the prototype— Foo.prototype .

So in the decorator doing target.inDecorator = ... is the same as Foo.inDecorator = ... and not Foo.prototype.inDecorator = ... .

Here's one way of doing it:

interface BarStatic {
    new(): BarInstance;
    inDecorator: string;
}

interface BarInstance {
    inDecorator: string;
}

function bar(target: BarStatic) {
    target.inDecorator = 'static';
    // note that prototype will be `any` here though
    target.prototype.inDecorator = 'instance';
}

@bar
class Foo {
    static inDecorator: string; // required
    inDecorator: string;        // required
    inClass: string;

    constructor() {
        this.inClass = 'a string';
    }

    getInClass() {
        return this.inClass;
    }
}

console.log(Foo.inDecorator);           // static
console.log(Foo.prototype.inDecorator); // instance
const foo = new Foo();
console.log(foo.getInClass());          // a string
console.log(foo.inDecorator);           // instance
