Basic class decorator

suggest change

A class decorator is just a function that takes the class as its only argument and returns it after doing something with it:

function log<T>(target: T) {
    
    // Do something with target
    console.log(target);
    
    // Return target
    return target;

}

We can then apply the class decorator to a class:

@log
class Person {
    private _name: string;
    public constructor(name: string) {
        this._name = name;
    }
    public greet() {
        return this._name;
    }
}
