A JavaScript class and method decorator that automatically binds methods to class instances so `this` is always correct, even when methods are detached. It is commonly used in React components to avoid repeated `.bind(this)` calls when passing methods as event handlers.

Use cases

• bind react event handlers without .bind(this)
• automatically bind class methods to instances in javascript
• pass detached methods as callbacks while preserving this
• use decorators with babel or typescript to bind methods
• avoid binding methods in class component constructors

When to choose

• you use class-based React components and pass methods as props or handlers
• you want a small decorator-based solution with TypeScript typings included
• you already use Babel with legacy decorator support

When to avoid

• you use functional React components with hooks instead of classes
• your build setup does not support decorators (legacy or modern spec)
• you need a library under active development with frequent updates
