Implement decorator-based validation API for typia class methods
This PR implements a decorator-based API that enables parameter validation for class methods using typia's type-checking capabilities.
Problem
Currently, typia only supports functional wrappers for method validation:
class UserService {
findMany(query: UserQuery): UserQuery[] {
return [query];
}
}
// Must wrap methods manually
const service = new UserService();
const wrappedFindMany = typia.functional.assertEqualsParameters(service.findMany.bind(service));
This approach is verbose and doesn't integrate cleanly with class-based architectures.
Solution
This PR introduces decorator support that enables clean, declarative validation:
class UserService {
@typia.decorators.assertEquals()
findMany(query: UserQuery): UserQuery[] {
return [query]; // Parameters are automatically validated
}
}
Implementation
-
New
src/decorators.tsmodule with decorator functions (assert,assertEquals,is,equals,validate,validateEquals) -
Transformer integration via
CallExpressionTransformerto handletypia.decorators.*calls - Decorator transformer pipeline that generates validation decorator functions
- Reuse of existing validation logic from the functional module
The decorators are transformed at compile-time to return proper TypeScript decorators that wrap methods with validation logic, maintaining typia's zero-runtime-overhead philosophy.
Fixes #1586

I've implemented the basic decorator transformer infrastructure but discovered the core issue: my decorators aren't being transformed because they're not properly integrated into the transformer pipeline.
The decorators module compiles but still throws NoTransformConfigurationError because the decorator transformations aren't being invoked. I need to fix the transformer registration to handle decorator call expressions properly.
Current status (commit 4a9faba5):
- ✅ Basic decorator transformer architecture implemented
- ✅ Code builds successfully
- ❌ Decorators still not actually transforming (throwing NoTransformConfigurationError)
Next step: Fix the transformer pipeline integration to actually invoke decorator transformations.
