aurelia-metadata
This library is part of the
Aurelia platform and contains utilities for reading and writing the metadata of JavaScript functions. It provides a consistent way of accessing type, annotation and origin metadata across a number of languages and formats. This library supports TypeScript metadata and contains helper functions that understand several simple, alternate locations and formats for metadata which are more easily leveraged by developers authoring code in plain ES6 or ES5.

Platform Support
This library can be used in the
browser as well as on the
server.
Building The Code
To build the code, follow these steps.
1. Ensure that
NodeJS version 12+ is installed. This provides the platform on which the build tooling runs.
2. From the project folder, execute the following command:
``
shell
npm ci
`
3. To build the code, you can now run:
`
shell
npm run build
`
5. You will find the compiled code in the dist
folder, available in three module formats: AMD, CommonJS and ES6.
6. See gulpfile.js
, or package.json
(scripts
section) for other tasks related to generating the docs and linting.
Running The Tests
To run the unit tests, first ensure that you have followed the steps above in order to install all dependencies and successfully build the library. Once you have done that, proceed with these additional steps:
1. You can now run the tests with this command:
`
shell
npm run test
`
If you want to run the test in watch mode, you can run this command:
`
shell
npm run test:watch
