@anatine/esbuild-decorators

An esbuild plugin for TypeScript decorator metadata (emitDecoratorMetadata and experimentalDecorators). Current stable version 1.0.0, maintained on GitHub by reconbot. It handles the tsconfig setting `emitDecoratorMetadata: true` by inspecting .ts files for decorators and transpiling them with the TypeScript compiler, since esbuild does not natively support TypeScript experimental decorators. Releases are infrequent; the plugin is a fork of the anatine organization's esbuildnx plugin with fixed peer dependencies and ESM/CJS module support. Alternatives include `esbuild-plugin-decorator` and `esbuild-decorators-loader`, but this package focuses on simplicity and direct tsconfig integration.
