Makes plain ES2015+ classes that extend native types work directly on iOS, without requiring @NativeClass or ES5 downleveling:

class JSClass extends NSObject {
  description() {
    return 'hello from ES class';
  }
}

Lazy registration

Construction is not the only way a class first crosses into native code. All of the following now trigger lazy registration, before any instance has ever been created:

class JSClass extends NSObject {}

someNativeMethod(JSClass);   // passed as a Class (or id) argument
JSClass.alloc().init();      // alloc before any construction
JSClass.new();               // inherited static factory
JSClass.someStaticMethod();  // inherited static method dispatch
JSClass.someStaticProperty;  // inherited static property get/set

Instance identity Improvements

new MyClass() and native [[MyClass.class() alloc] init…] now produce the same kind of JS instance: a real construct of the ES class. Public fields, private fields (#a), and the constructor body run on both paths.

The constructor → super() loop is broken with an isolate-local adopt slot (Caches::PendingESAdopt):

  1. Native already created object N1.
  2. CreateJsWrapper(N1) stashes N1 and constructs MyClass.
  3. super() binds this to N1 and does not alloc / init again.

super({ argName: value }) stays the create-path initializer picker. Adopt ignores those args so the initializer that already ran (init, initWithFrame:, initWithCoder:) stays authoritative.

class MyClass extends UIView {
  #a = 1;
  constructor() {
    super({ frame: CGRectMake(0, 0) });
  }
  someMethod() {
    return this.#a;
  }
}

new MyClass().someMethod();          // 1
MyClass.alloc().init().someMethod(); // 1  (was TypeError: cannot read private member #a)

Not solved here (not deal-breakers):

  • Constructors that require JS-only arguments cannot be invented on the native-born path (CreateJsWrapper constructs with zero args).
  • JS-only methods still need ObjCExposedMethods / NativeClass({ ios: { methods } }) to be callable via objc_msgSend.
  • A constructor that throws after super() leaves a partial Instances mapping; a later wrap of the same id does not construct again.
  • KVO / isa-swizzled first wrap still falls back to the pre-A empty wrapper.

NativeClass decorator API

@NativeClass is no longer a no-op. Optional ios options map to the existing statics and can eagerly name the Objective-C class:

@NativeClass({
  ios: {
    name: 'MyNeatIOSClass',
    protocols: [UIDelegateAnything],
    methods: {
      'selectorWithX:andY:': {
        returns: interop.types.void,
        params: [interop.types.id, interop.types.id],
      },
    },
  },
  // here for example purposes - consolidated decorator for all platform annotations 
  android: {
    interfaces: [android.view.View],
    name: 'org.nativescript.example.CustomActivity',
  },
})
class MyClass extends UIView {}
  • All properties are optional.
  • ios.protocolsstatic ObjCProtocols
  • ios.methodsstatic ObjCExposedMethods
  • ios.nameObjCClassName plus eager registration
  • This runtime implements ios only; android is accepted and ignored
  • Types: types/ns-nativeclass.d.ts

@NativeClass and @NativeClass({ ios: { … } }) are both valid. Passing the class directly (NativeClass(MyClass)) applies empty options.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ca9af

This change expands native ES-class registration and native-born instance construction, but unresolved issues can produce incorrect object identity, leaks, broken retain behavior, lost enumeration or decorator metadata, duplicate native classes, and crashes for some source text. These are high-impact runtime risks that should be fixed before merging.

does this call alloc().init()? I'm not sure about the implications of calling new Something() when the native object might have different ideas for initalization.

would ESSimpleObject.alloc().init() call the constructor? what about the constructor arguments?

Yes in the default case. super() lands in the exact same ArgConverter::ConstructObject path that every NativeScript construction (new NSObject(), legacy .extend() classes) has always used. The only new behavior is that new.target resolution makes it alloc the derived ObjC class instead of the base. The dispatch inside ConstructObject is:

if (result == nil && interfaceMeta != nullptr && info.Length() > 0) {
  std::vector<Local<Value>> args;
  const MethodMeta* initializer =
      ArgConverter::FindInitializer(context, klass, interfaceMeta, info, args);
  result = [klass alloc];

  V8VectorArgs vectorArgs(args);
  result = Interop::CallInitializer(context, initializer, result, klass, vectorArgs);
}

if (result == nil) {
  result = [[klass alloc] init];
}

So for a native class with "different ideas about initialization," the existing constructor-to-initializer matching still applies: super() with no arguments is literally [[DerivedClass alloc] init], while super(args...) runs FindInitializer, which matches the arguments against the class's initWith… selectors from metadata and calls the matched designated initializer. The key detail is that what reaches the native initializer is whatever you pass to super(...), not what's passed to new. The JS constructor body is in control, same as any ES class. If a native base has no usable zero-arg init, the author passes matching args to super(...) or uses the explicit alloc().initWithX(...) pattern, exactly as before.

alloc() triggers lazy registration (creating the ObjC class and installing method/accessor overrides; a metadata operation only) and returns an uninitialized instance; .init() is then an ordinary message send.

1096-1118: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not gate Symbol.iterator installation on inherited protocol conformance.

class_conformsToProtocol reports YES for conformance inherited from a superclass. NSArray, NSSet, and NSDictionary already conform to NSFastEnumeration. For an ES class or a legacy extended class whose base is one of those, this guard skips the whole block, so countByEnumeratingWithState:objects:count: is never overridden and the JS [Symbol.iterator] is ignored. The legacy .extend() path installed it.

The guard is needed only to stop a second install when ExposeDynamicMethods runs once per ES chain level. Use visitedNames for that, so the check is scoped to this registration.

🛡️ Proposed fix
-  if (!symbolIterator.IsEmpty() && symbolIterator->IsFunction() &&
-      !class_conformsToProtocol(extendedClass, `@protocol`(NSFastEnumeration))) {
+  bool fastEnumerationInstalled =
+      visitedNames != nullptr && !visitedNames->insert("protocol:NSFastEnumeration").second;
+  if (!symbolIterator.IsEmpty() && symbolIterator->IsFunction() && !fastEnumerationInstalled) {
     Local<v8::Function> symbolIteratorFunc = symbolIterator.As<v8::Function>();
 
-    class_addProtocol(extendedClass, `@protocol`(NSFastEnumeration));
-    class_addProtocol(object_getClass(extendedClass), `@protocol`(NSFastEnumeration));
+    if (!class_conformsToProtocol(extendedClass, `@protocol`(NSFastEnumeration))) {
+      class_addProtocol(extendedClass, `@protocol`(NSFastEnumeration));
+      class_addProtocol(object_getClass(extendedClass), `@protocol`(NSFastEnumeration));
+    }

Also change the install to class_replaceMethod, or drop the tns::Assert, because class_addMethod fails when the selector is already present on this class.

     struct objc_method_description fastEnumerationMethodDescription = protocol_getMethodDescription(
         `@protocol`(NSFastEnumeration), `@selector`(countByEnumeratingWithState:objects:count:), YES,
         YES);
-    tns::Assert(
-        class_addMethod(extendedClass, `@selector`(countByEnumeratingWithState:objects:count:), imp,
-                        fastEnumerationMethodDescription.types),
-        isolate);
+    class_replaceMethod(extendedClass, `@selector`(countByEnumeratingWithState:objects:count:), imp,
+                        fastEnumerationMethodDescription.types);
   }

Call gcUnprotect() instead of repeating its body.

The else branch duplicates the whole lambda body. The only difference is self versus (id)weakSelf, which name the same object. Reuse the lambda so both paths stay in sync.

Cast to unsigned char before the <ctype.h> calls.

c and src[i] are char, which is signed on ARM64/x86-64 Apple targets. JS source text can contain non-ASCII bytes outside strings and comments, for example a non-ASCII identifier or an emoji in a class-body position. Passing a negative value other than EOF to isalpha, isalnum, or isspace is undefined behavior.

Return id from the retain swizzle.

The retain selector uses the object-return encoding "@@:", but both the function pointer and block currently use a void return type. Declare retain as id (*)(id, SEL) and use ^id(id self). This mismatch predates this PR, but the new __registerNativeClass path applies the swizzle to eagerly registered plain ES classes.

Set the ObjCClassWrapper before exposing members.

tns::SetValue runs at Line 665, after the exposure loop. Lines 652 and 657 read ObjCExposedMethods and ObjCProtocols through Get, which runs a user-defined static accessor if one exists. If that accessor hands the same constructor to native code, EnsureExtendedClass re-enters, finds no wrapper at Line 549, and registers a second Objective-C class. The first class and its CtorFuncs entry then leak, and the constructor ends up bound to the second class.

Set the wrapper right after Line 638, so re-entry returns the same class.

TC39 decorators class decorator run before static field initializers order

💡 Result:

In the TC39 decorators proposal, the execution of class decorators occurs before static fields are initialized [1][2]. The class decorator is invoked only after all method and field decorators have been evaluated and applied [1][3]. Following this, static fields are executed and initialized [1][4]. This ordering is intentional. Because class decorators may replace the class definition, they must be applied to the initial class definition before the static fields are attached to it [2][5]. If decorators were delayed until after static fields were initialized, it would create potential inconsistencies, such as split definitions where static fields might be assigned to the original class object while the class decorator operates on a different, new class object [5]. To accommodate use cases that require code to run after static fields have been assigned, the decorators proposal provides an addInitializer method on the decorator context object [1][3]. For class decorators, these initializers are executed after the class has been fully defined and after all static fields have been assigned [1][6][4].

Defer the complete option merge for standard decorators.

Standard class decorators run before static field initializers. A class with static ObjCClassName, ObjCProtocols, or ObjCExposedMethods can replace properties assigned by applyNativeClass. The current addInitializer path defers only eager registration, so the non-eager path also loses decorator-supplied options.

When context.addInitializer exists, defer the complete option merge and eager registration to that initializer. Keep legacy decorator and direct-call behavior unchanged.

…tic usage before construction

Plain ES classes extending native types (class JSClass extends NSObject {})
now register their Objective-C subclass lazily on first native use, without
requiring the @nativeclass decorator or ES5 downleveling. Registration is
triggered not only by construction (new/new.target) but by any static touch:
JSClass.alloc().init(), JSClass.new(), inherited static methods and
properties, and passing JSClass directly to native APIs expecting Class or
id arguments. A global no-op NativeClass keeps existing decorated code
working unchanged.

Install the ObjCClassWrapper before the exposure loop.

Line 521 runs tns::SetValue after the loop. Lines 508 and 513 read ObjCExposedMethods and ObjCProtocols with Get, which runs a user-defined static accessor when one exists. If that accessor passes the same constructor to native code, EnsureExtendedClass re-enters, finds no wrapper at Line 428, and registers a second Objective-C class. The first class and its CtorFuncs entry then leak, and ctorFunc binds to the second class.

Move the SetValue call to just before the loop so re-entry returns the same class.

Return id from the retain swizzle.

Line 365 registers the swizzled retain with the encoding "@@:", which declares an object return. The function pointer at Line 329 and the block at Line 331 both use void. Callers that use the return value of retain then read an undefined register. EnsureExtendedClass now applies this swizzle to ES-derived classes as well, so the mismatch reaches the new path.

Assert the Objective-C hierarchy for the intermediate ES class.

The test checks JavaScript instanceof only. EnsureExtendedClass flattens the chain, so ESLevelB becomes a direct Objective-C subclass of TNSDerivedInterface and not of ESLevelA. That divergence between the JavaScript hierarchy and the Objective-C hierarchy is the main observable effect of flattening, and no test covers it.

Add expect(b.isKindOfClass(ESLevelA)).toBe(false); next to the instanceof assertions.

Match the existing debug/release failure pattern for this new assertion.

ArgConverter::Invoke in this file (Lines 44-55 and Lines 71-82) throws a catchable NativeScriptException in debug builds and asserts only in release builds. This new assertion aborts in both. A reentrant wrapper request for a pending adoption target is a JS-authoring problem, so a catchable error gives a better developer signal than an abort.

Key the pending adoption to the target class before consuming it.

cache->PendingESAdopt is a single untyped slot. ConstructObject consumes it for whatever class is currently being constructed. TryConstructESDerivedInstance sets the slot and then calls the ES constructor, so any native construction that happens inside that constructor before super() runs will consume the slot instead.

Example:

class ESThing extends NSObject {
  constructor() {
    const helper = new NSObject(); // consumes PendingESAdopt
    super();
  }
}

Here the new NSObject() call binds the pending ESThing native instance to the NSObject JS object, and the later super() allocates a second native object. Statements before super() are legal in ES classes, so this path is reachable.

Store the expected constructor together with the pointer and consume the slot only when the current new.target (or the resolved class for klass) matches. The assertion at Line 956 shows the same reentrancy surface, so a keyed slot removes both risks.

Do not return constructed unless it wraps target.

PendingESAdopt is shared by the isolate. A nested native constructor before super() can consume it, so super() can create a different native object. When the cache lookup misses, the fallback returns that unrelated object and leaves target unwrapped.

Require an ObjCDataWrapper with Data() == target before returning constructed; otherwise throw NativeScriptException.

Free the unused wrapper on the ES-derived early return

When TryConstructESDerivedInstance returns, tns::SetValue does not attach the caller’s ObjCDataWrapper. The nativeException paths at Interop.mm:1711 and Interop.mm:1755 do not call tns::DeleteWrapperIfUnused, so they can leak one wrapper per adopted instance. Add cleanup after each CreateJsWrapper call.

Make PendingESAdopt construction-scoped. A nested native-derived constructor can consume the outer object's pending value before super(), causing the outer construction to bind the wrong object. Use a per-construction stack or RAII guard, and add nested-construction and post-throw reuse tests. Ordinary JavaScript throws already clear the slot.

from a single shared slot to construction-scoped state, using a per-construction
stack or RAII guard so nested native-derived constructors always consume their
own pending object and outer construction retains its value. Ensure cleanup
occurs on constructor throws while preserving existing JavaScript-throw clearing
behavior, and add tests covering nested construction and reuse after a thrown
construction.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the propagated error message, not only that a throw happened.

Both catch blocks discard e. TryConstructESDerivedInstance wraps the JS failure in a NativeScriptException with the text "Failed to construct ES class for native instance". If that wrapping drops the original message, this test still passes.

Capture the error and assert that the original text survives on both paths.
