💻 Code

// @isolatedModules
// @experimentalDecorators
// @target: ESNext
// @experimentalDecorators: true
// @emitDecoratorMetadata: true
// @lib: esnext,decorators.legacy
// @filename: type-export.ts
export type A = 4;

// @filename: use-decorator-with-type.ts
import { type A } from "./type-export.js";

export function Test() {
  return undefined as any as ParameterDecorator;
}

export class X {
  constructor(@Test() x: A) {}
}

🙁 Actual behavior

The key issue here is that the emitted file for use-decorator-with-type.ts looks like this:

/* ... helpers snipped ... */
export function Test() {
    return undefined;
}
let X = class X {
    constructor(x) { }
};
X = __decorate([
    __param(0, Test()),
    __metadata("design:paramtypes", [Number])
], X);
export { X };

And the problematic line is __metadata("design:paramtypes", [Number]).

Typescript manages to avoid any broken imports and produce working runtime code but the runtime code leaks information about the type of A from the other file by using Number in the metadata. This seems like a clear violation of isolatedModules, but no compiler error is emitted.

🙂 Expected behavior

TS should either emit an isolatedModules-related error or should output something more generic than Number. If the emit is changed, though, I'm not sure what the ecosystem ramifications would be, so probably this should just be an error.

Additional information about the issue

No response

Iniziare con la riproduzione fornita in Playground usando type-export.ts e use-decorator-with-type.ts, quindi esaminare il percorso del compilatore responsabile di isolatedModules ed emitDecoratorMetadata. Riprodurre l'output emesso __metadata("design:paramtypes", [Number]) e determinare se il fix completato debba segnalare una diagnostica isolatedModules o modificare i metadati emessi, con copertura di regressione per questo caso.
