Package Exports

@abraham/reflection

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@abraham/reflection) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

Reflection

Lightweight ES Module implementation of reflect-metadata to work with TypeScript's experimental decorator support.

Why?

The main reason for this library is to provide a much smaller implementation that can be included as a module.

ES module
- reflection can be loaded with <script type="module" src="..."></script>
Size (uncompressed)
- reflect-metadata is ~50K
- core-js/es7/reflect is ~80K
- @abraham/reflection is ~3K

Read about how to drop 20K from your production Angular app by switching to this.

Install

npm install @abraham/reflection

Usage

import '@abraham/reflection';
Reflect.defineMetadata(metadataKey, metadataValue, target);

You can also import Reflection:

import { Reflection as Reflect } from '@abraham/reflection';
Reflect.defineMetadata(metadataKey, metadataValue, target);
