Decorators Toolbox
==================

A suite of helper for writing ES2016 (aka ES7) decorators.

## Tools in the box

- [**Value Transformer**](#value-transformer)
- [**Ensure Accessors**](#ensure-accessors)

- - -

Every helper has the same ‘shape’, you use them to build a decorator by
providing the required implementation details.

Every helper is tested against:
- object properties,
- object properties accessors,
- object function property shorthand,
- class initializers,
- class static initializers,
- class accessors,
- class static accessors.

**Very important disclaimer**: all built decorators must be used with parens,
that is in the form `@decorator(...args)`. You can anyway invoke it just after
creation to get a parens-free decorator. My personal advice: choose the parens.

### Value Transformer

```js
import { valueTransformer } from 'decorators-toolbox';
import valueTransformer from 'decorators-toolbox/value-transformer';
```

Creates a decorator that modifies the value of the property you attach it to.

#### Examples

```js
const multiplier = valueTransformer(m => n => m * n);
// ┬ ┬ ─┬───
// │ │ └─ result
// │ └─ value
// └─ parameter

const target = {
@multiplier(7) // the parameter
value: 5 // the value
};

console.assert(target.value === 35); // the result, 3 × 5
```

```js
const trimmer = valueTransformer(() => s => s.trim());
const upperCase = valueTransformer(() => s => s.toUpperCase());
const replacer = valueTransformer((from, to) => s => s.split(from).join(to));

const target = {
@trimmer()
@upperCase()
@replacer(',', '--')
get value() {
return this.storage;
},
set value(v) {
this.storage = v;
}
};

// If you use accessors it works with new values too.
target.value = ' so space, very blanks ';

console.assert(target.value === 'SO SPACE-- VERY BLANKS');
```

## Ensure Accessors

```js
import { ensureAccessors } from 'decorators-toolbox';
import ensureAccessors from 'decorators-toolbox/ensure-accessors';
```

Wraps a decorator in such a way that the descriptor is guaranteed to be of a
computed property.

When it has to convert a normal property to a computed one it uses a *Symbol* to
store the value in the object.

:warning: This helper creates decorators that make properties’ initialization
lazy! :warning:

### Examples

```js
const emitOnChange = ensureAccessors(() => (target, name, descriptor) => {
const originalSet = descriptor.set;

// You don’t have to worry about `value` or `initializer`

return {
...descriptor,
set(value) {
this.emit(`change:${ name }`, { value });

if (originalSet) {
this::originalSet(value);
}
}
};
});

class Person extends EventEmitter {
@emitOnChange()
firstName = "";
}

const author = new Person();

author.firstName = 'Pier Paolo'; // fires 'change:firstName'
```
