# @babel/plugin-proposal-decorators
> Compile class and object decorators to ES5
## Example
(examples are from proposal)
### Simple class decorator
```js
@annotation
class MyClass { }
function annotation(target) {
target.annotated = true;
}
```
### Class decorator
```js
@isTestable(true)
class MyClass { }
function isTestable(value) {
return function decorator(target) {
target.isTestable = value;
}
}
```
### Class function decorator
```js
class C {
@enumerable(false)
method() { }
}
function enumerable(value) {
return function (target, key, descriptor) {
descriptor.enumerable = value;
return descriptor;
}
}
```
## Installation
```sh
npm install --save-dev @babel/plugin-proposal-decorators
```
## Usage
Add the following line to your .babelrc file:
```json
{
"plugins": ["@babel/proposal-decorators"]
}
```
#### NOTE: Order of Plugins Matters!
If you are including your plugins manually and using `proposal-class-properties`, make sure that `proposal-decorators` comes *before* `proposal-class-properties`.
Currently, `proposal-class-properties` must be used in `loose` mode to support the `proposal-decorators`. To use `proposal-class-properties` in spec mode with decorators, wait for the next major version of decorators (Stage 2).
Wrong:
```json
{
"plugins": [
"@babel/proposal-class-properties",
"@babel/proposal-decorators"
]
}
```
Right:
```json
{
"plugins": [
"@babel/proposal-decorators",
["@babel/proposal-class-properties", { "loose" : true }]
]
}
```
### Via CLI
```sh
babel --plugins @babel/proposal-decorators script.js
```
### Via Node API
```javascript
require("@babel/core").transform("code", {
plugins: ["@babel/proposal-decorators"]
});
```
