decorators in object literals not working

[jrieken]

I am getting a parsing error for decorators on object literal properties. My jsconfig.json looks like this:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "ES6",
        "module": "commonjs",
        "experimentalDecorators": true
    }
}

This code compiles okay in babel 5.8.12 using the "es7.decorators" extension.
Can I somehow make this work?

This is currently not supported. it is only supported on classes. i suspect will add support after the next TC39 meeting, just to have the proposal stabilizes.

Hi there. I am not sure why this has been moved accross to TS, since I am not using TS at all? Is the jsconf also using the TS parser?

[weswigham]

Yes - some js services in vscode are based on the typescript language service.

It appears that it is firmly part of the proposal now. I see that "Decorators for function expressions/arrow functions" are on the roadmap for 2.0 but not this.

The decorator proposal is changing a lot. there are some fundamental changes in how decorators are applied. we will need to stage all these changes and make sure they all land around the same time. I do not think we will be changing anything in the decorator implementation until these changes are finalized.
