Class decorator with object argument - `SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression`

[loopmode]

Using

  "dependencies": {
    "esdoc": "^1.0.3",
    "esdoc-ecmascript-proposal-plugin": "^1.0.0",
    "esdoc-jsx-plugin": "^1.0.0",
    "esdoc-standard-plugin": "^1.0.0"
  }

When using a class decorator with an object as argument, I run into this error:

SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /[~]Logger
  level: 'debug'
})$/: Unmatched ')'
    at RegExp (<anonymous>)

The stack trace is from this source code:

@Logger('Raycasting', { level: 0 })
export default class Raycasting { ... }

In general:

function Decorator() {}

// works:
@Decorator()
export default class MyClass { }

// works:
@Logger('foo')
export default class MyClass { }

// works:
const options = { level: 'debug' };
@Logger('foo', options )
export default class MyClass { }

// does not work:
@Logger({ level: 'debug' })
export default class MyClass { }

// does not work:
@Logger('foo', { level: 'debug' })
export default class MyClass { }

Important: The error only happens using [email protected] - it does not happen using @1.0.2 or @1.01

I have traced this error to: https://github.com/esdoc/esdoc-plugins/blob/master/esdoc-publish-html-plugin/src/Builder/DocBuilder.js

Line: https://github.com/esdoc/esdoc-plugins/blob/378f3dddfdf2693cdb08ea392e5a5bb03571342e/esdoc-publish-html-plugin/src/Builder/DocBuilder.js#L101

It's one of the Regular Expressions parsing the decorators. Here is a link at which Match 1 and 3 are as intended. Match 2 shows why the error exists. http://rubular.com/r/6UdWsNAQS1

Who solves the RegEx, solves the bug. I'd prefer decorates would allow Simple Types, JSON Types and even functions in classic or Arrow (ES6) way.

An additional problem I found with regards to parsing Decorators originates from the core of ESDOC. See issue: https://github.com/esdoc/esdoc/issues/471
