I don't understand what the @ does? otherwise it looks like it is just calling a function?

The question you linked is in regards to PHP code, is this true for Javascript as well? – dave Jun 11 '16 at 04:07

it's an [ES2016 decorator](https://medium.com/google-developers/exploring-es7-decorators-76ecb65fb841#.a9e11tbxb) – Mauricio Poppe Jun 11 '16 at 04:08

@MauricioPoppe: Decorators are not part of ES2016. It's a proposal for a future ES version. (the article is older) – Felix Kling Jun 11 '16 at 04:10
@FelixKling you're right thanks :) – Mauricio Poppe Jun 11 '16 at 04:12

I'ld also like to point out that searching for this is really difficult, since there are @ signs everywhere on the net and I lacked any meaningful phrase (since I didn't know what it was supposed to be) – dave Jun 11 '16 at 04:38
