Description
hello Ron,
I was using reflect-metadata 0.1.3 in an angular rc4 app in a project.
Now I use reflect-metadata 0.1.8 and angular rc5.
The way I was using it was the following.
- systemjs.config.js
map['reflect-metadata'] = 'node_modules/reflect-metadata/Reflect.js'; - main.ts
import "reflect-metadata";
-In my application
`export class MapUtils {
static getClazz(target:any, propertyKey:string):any {
return Reflect.getMetadata("design:type", target, propertyKey)
}
static getJsonProperty<T>(target:any, propertyKey:string):IJsonMetaData<T> {
return Reflect.getMetadata(jsonMetadataKey, target, propertyKey);
}`
But now I have the error:
Error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'type' of null(…)
I suspect I'm not mapping properly in the systemjs.config.js but with rc4 and angular rc4 that worked.
If you could guide me into the right direction that would be great
thanks

Research direction
Start with systemjs.config.js and main.ts, then reproduce the metadata call in MapUtils.getClazz or getJsonProperty in the Angular RC5 application. Compare the reflect-metadata 0.1.8 mapping and import behavior with the reported null-type error; done means the application loads without that error and the metadata calls work.
