Possible FAQ needed, correct combination of importOrderParserPlugins for Angular parameter decorators

[adam-marshall]

If I use parameter decorators e.g. https://angular.io/api/core/Self#usage-notes

I receive the following error
SyntaxError: Decorators cannot be used to decorate parameters.

I saw similar closed issues but it is still not clear to me today what the correct configuration would be to allow this, I currently use:

"importOrderParserPlugins" : [ "typescript", "classProperties", "[\"decorators\", { \"decoratorsBeforeExport\": true }]"]

I tried a few things but no joy yet.

actually, it looks like this isn't covered in https://github.com/trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports/blob/master/tests/Angular/imports-with-decorators.js so it might be worth being an actual issue to capture that.

[adam-marshall]

I can reproduce this simply by running the tests locally and adding a decorator to a constructor parameter

I've had better results in angular using the decorators-legacy plugin instead.

Maybe I'm missing something but I think this config should work

importOrderParserPlugins : [ "typescript", "classProperties", "decorators-legacy"]

Please tell me if that solves your issue.

Regardless, this is not the first time people report issues with angular projects. So the doc might need some update 😅

SyntaxError: Decorators cannot be used to decorate parameters.

Still the same issue.

I my case I was trying to format a file containing some decorated constructor injections:
e.g. constructor(@Optional() @SkipSelf() parentModule: CoreModule) {

+1, I'm having the exact same issue as @Sebastian-G and @adam-marshall, which effectively renders this plugin unusable to me. I'm on a NestJS project, though, so using Angular doesn't seem to be the issue.
