Support for Syntax Decorators

Note from maintainers

For people coming to this thread later—if you use MobX or a similar library, you don’t need decorators. They are just syntax sugar in this case.

Here is why we don’t include them: #411 (comment).

I want to use Babel Syntax Decorators AKA ES7 JavaScript Decorators which is currently not a part of this project.

I believe it is really important and decorators are being a common practice for most of the React projects (esp MobX like projects).

I can submit a pull-request if needed. Please let me know.

Hi, please search the issues to find previous discussions on this topic. We’re happy to support decorators after the spec advances, and they are officially supported in Babel without the -legacy plugin. And MobX works fine without decorators.

For anyone reading this in the future, I would like to point out that the decorators spec has changed significantly. I'm really glad we made the decision to not support them at early stage, so users who didn't eject don't need to change their code.

I don't recommend anyone to rely on the legacy decorator transform (that is not part of CRA). See this thread for more info: https://twitter.com/dan_abramov/status/897491076537356288.
