But why do we need this at all? What's wrong wrong with
getStyle()
and the@export
we already have?There was a problem hiding this comment.

Good point, export should be sufficient. Will revert back to
getStyle()

@export
requires both closure-library and the--generate_exports
flag to be used with the compiler making it a not-great solution.There are two options:
@export
annotation and quote the property directly.CustomStyle.prototype['getStyle'] = CustomStyle.prototype.getStyle
statement right below the class definition.There was a problem hiding this comment.

All of our internal users have
--generate_exports
enabled. We're also advocating for it to become enabled by default. So I think that's our preferred solution. Any reason you don't want to turn on the flag?There was a problem hiding this comment.

Yes it requires closure library. That's a non starter for most external projects.

Hm, seems odd. I thought it was just a JS compiler pass. Maybe it's like JSCompiler_renameProperty and just requires any implementation of the functions that it generates, since the compiler replaces the call anyway?

It's very odd. The compiler pass literally adds
goog.exportSymbol
calls but requires the definition of that method to be included as source. Unlike property reflection, the source actually is present in the final output.The definition for that method could be injected like a polyfill, but nobody has done that work.
