Function: nodejs.esbuild options are not getting applied about ion

[leon]

A potential problem I see is that we are unmarshalling esbuild from json.
Does that mean that the plugin that is a javascript function won't get converted to go?

How does esbuild handle the conversion from javascript to go?

@leon I was following your messages in Discord, did you make some progress on this?

[leon]

No unfortunately not.
Tried a couple of things but got stuck.

It's a bit complicated because of the typescript / go marshaling.

Hope someone else can look at it soon 🤓

yeah this is quite tricky - we used to require you to pass in a path to a file that loaded the plugins, but don't really want to go back to that

we might not be able to support esbuild plugins

[leon]

A solution we could do is add a config Boolean to function called experimentalDecorators which in turn adds an esbuild plugin that compiles using typescript.

Only a couple of lines of code is needed.

What do you think? 🤔
