Typescript Task decorators

Suggesting Typescript decorators for supplying the task description and name properties since there is no easy way in typescript to extend function at least not as easy as JS

I see how that could cause more work than necessary. I’m inclined to agree on that front. But i also see potential for additional organization and structure to a build pipeline. What i had in mind was something like this.

class Tasks {

@description('clean stuffs')
@task('clean')
static clean(cb) {
//del stuff.
cb();
}

@description('build the styles')
@task('buildStyles')
static buildStyles(cb) {
//do more stuff.
cb();
}

@description('build stuffs')
@task('build:app')
@series('clean', 'buildStyles')
static buildApp(cb) {
// do app building stuffs.
cb();
}

@description('awesome default task')
@flags({'--dev': 'test'})
@task('default')
static default(cb) {

cb();
}

or maybe even overriding the constructor with a decorator for declaring series and parallel task execution

on another note to access those properties with typescript casting the functions at TaskFunction and exporting its constant works fine, the gulp-cli picks it all up nicely!!

@StevenLiekens fair enough. I don’t do typescript things so thanks for elaborating.
