emitDecoratorMetadata not working

[TomMettam]

Current Behavior

I've recently ported my application (to nx:node) , which depends heavily on decorators and specifically the 'design:type' metadata which should be emitted when "emitDecoratorMetadata" is set to True.

I've set this in all of my config files, but I cannot get "nx build" to obey this setting. None of the generated files contain "design:type".

Expected Behavior

emitDecoratorMetadata should emit the "design:type" decorator metadata

This is likely because you are using esbuild in the nx repo - if you use @nrwl/js:tsc instead I'd expect it to work. evanw/esbuild#257 (comment)
