firedev-class-helpers (typescript-class-helpers)

• Part of firedev.io
• Helpers for OOP (Object Oriented Programming) in TypeScript.
• Keep classnames metadata when minifying code (uglifyjs, webpack)
• Purpose:
  • take advantage of classes in TypeScript/JavaScript in most glegant way
  • prevent unusable class names during JS minification

Installation:

npm i typescript-class-helpers

Class manipulations (in nodejs)

import { CLASS } from 'typescript-class-helpers';

@CLASS.NAME('Example')
class Example {

}
    
console.log(CLASS.getName(Example) === 'Example') // true
console.log(CLASS.getNameFromObject(new Example()) === 'Example') // true
console.log(CLASS.getBy('Example') === Example) // true

Class manipulations (in browser)

import { CLASS } from 'typescript-class-helpers/browser';

@CLASS.NAME('Example')
class Example {

}
    
console.log(CLASS.getName(Example) === 'Example') // true
console.log(CLASS.getNameFromObject(new Example()) === 'Example') // true
console.log(CLASS.getBy('Example') === Example) // true

This way you can use you class names even after uglify process.
