decorator @inject not works with typescript and 'reflect-metadata' previously: #756 #857

Closed binaryangel-noa closed 4 years ago

"decorator @inject not works with typescript and 'reflect-metadata' #756" has been closed. My team now started migrating our v5 application to v6 and we have the same error. The Documentation still has this way of using using decorators as a valid way and the migration documentation states that its possible to gradually migrate to v6 of mobx react. Thats also the strategy we follow with react right now (with classes to functions).

Whats the way for migrating from the old pattern without having to rewrite every class component ?

export const X = observer(class X) rather than @observer class X

Have you read through https://mobx-react.js.org/recipes-migration? Any help is welcome in improving it if something is unclear there. Rather make a PR than explain what's wrong there, please.

Hi, yes i have, https://github.com/mobxjs/mobx-react still uses @inject approach in its documentation which let me suspect its a bug or forgotten feature. If it was intentional to remove that option then the the migration documentation is missing to mention that @inject as decorator does not work anymore and as a result components using that need to be rewritten to: class Example { } export default inject("storename")(Example)

Also "First and foremost: if you are happy with the current Provider/inject pattern, there is nothing you need to change in your application. This guide is intended as the path to the future of React and tools that might provide you with more comfort." does not hold true in that case.

What do you mean by PR ? I will try to provide those information's there.

The @inject does work, just not in your specific case with reflect-metadata. We can't cover all edge cases in docs, it's already long as it is :)

The inject/Provider got reworked in V6 to utilize React.Context. It's totally possible something got lost on the way to support reflect-metadata.

If you don't want to migrate everything for now then I would recommend you downgrade back to V5 and use mobx-react-lite alongside for components refactored to functional ones. When you are done with the migration, it will be as simple as replacing one string for another.

For improving docs. It's always helpful for others to document hurdles you had to overcome on the migration path.
