1786238 - [META] Add support for decorators in DevTools

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: General, task, P3)

Description

[Nicolas Chevobbe [:nchevobbe]]

Decorators (see https://github.com/tc39/proposal-decorators) have some specific syntax that may have an impact on various tools:

• we should update our parsing workers, adding a babel plugin for them, so inline variables and outline view in the debugger works
• we may have to update pretty-fast so it can pretty-print scripts using decorators
• we may have to update jsbeautifier so expression with decorators can be prettified correctly in the console editor
• we may want to provide autocompletion in webconsole for @
• etc …

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'DevTools::Debugger' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

The meta keyword is there, the bug doesn't depend on other bugs and there is no activity for 12 months.
:Honza, maybe it's time to close this bug?

Nicolas, is this still valid meta?
Any updates on the decorators?

yes, still valid.
Not sure what's the status of decorators. There's a TC39 meeting soon, so I'll update this bug with the latest info
