registerType() function

Flushes @property definitions collected on a class into the RPC type description. Invoked by class-level decorators once the class (and hence its name) is available.

Signature:

export declare function registerType(ctor: Function, metadata: DecoratorMetadata | undefined, indexType?: string): void;

Parameters

Returns:

void

Remarks

Only the class's own collected properties are flushed — fields inherited from a base class are not copied, and are represented solely by inherits. So every class in a hierarchy that declares @property fields needs its own classType() or indexed(), or those fields are lost.

inherits is re-derived from the runtime prototype chain on every call, and is the empty string for a class with no extends.

Each property is installed as an accessor whose type is a memoising getter, so the type argument is resolved on first read rather than at decoration time. Existing entries are merged into, never cleared.
