Reflection & Hoisting

I'm debugging the following error.

TypeError: decorator is not a function

It occurs when using autoSerializeAs(Foo)

Is there support for getting the class type by function as outlined here?

rbuckton/reflect-metadata#29

The core issue comes from trying to implement this library:
typeorm/typeorm#1060

I setup a simple test with 2 entities that use both Address and Owner. This is designed specifically to test fat arrow type assignment.

1: Using an expression to

export class Address {
    @autoserialize name: string;
    @autoserialize unit: number;
    @autoserializeAs(() => Owner) owner: Owner
}

// Address { name: 'carl', unit: 2, owner: [Function: Owner] }

Using:

export class Address {
    @autoserialize name: string;
    @autoserialize unit: number;
    @autoserialize owner: Owner
}

// Address { name: 'carl', unit: 2, owner: { type: 'owner', name: 'bank' } }

This should be solved in version 2 https://github.com/weichx/cerialize/tree/mw/v2 using @serializeUsing
