const boundFn = fn.bind(this); Object.defineProperty(this, key, { value: boundFn, configurable: true, writable: true, }); return boundFn; }, }; }

class MyComponent { constructor(props) { this.props = props; } @autobind handleClick() { console.log(this.props); } }</pre></div>In this example, the decorator is used to decorate the function so that it automatically binds this when called and returns a new function. This way, after instantiating , you don’t need to manually bind this when calling the function.<code>autobindhandleClickMyComponentthis.handleClick()</code><h1 id="3ffe">Logging</h1>Decorators can be used to record logs, including printing information such as function calls, function execution times, etc.<div id="1a70"><pre>function log(target, name, descriptor) { const originalMethod = descriptor.value;

descriptor.value = function (...args) { console.log(Function ${name} called with ${args}); const start = performance.now(); const result = originalMethod.apply(this, args); const duration = performance.now() - start; console.log(Function ${name} completed in ${duration}ms); return result; }; return descriptor } class MyClass { @log myMethod(arg1, arg2) { return arg1 + arg2; } }

descriptor.value = function (...args) { const cacheKey = args.toString(); if (cache.has(cacheKey)) { console.log(cache hit: ${cacheKey}); return cache.get(cacheKey); } const result = originalMethod.apply(this, args); console.log(cache miss: ${cacheKey}); cache.set(cacheKey, result); return result; }; return descriptor; }

descriptor.value = function (...args) { args.reverse(); return originalMethod.apply(this, args); }; return descriptor; } class MyMath { @reverse calculate(num1, num2) { return num1 + num2; } }
