TypeScript Constructors are erased unless explicitly called - parsing fails

[jonasandero]

I have successfully used your framework to build a service but i am facing an issue. I have an entity class that I do not instanceiate any where in the code - it is only created by calls to TaJson.parse(). While can understand why tsc erases the constructor function - since it is not explicitly called - I wonder if there is a clever way to prevent it from being erased? The only ways i can come up with is to either create a dummy instance somewhere or to export a function that calls the constructor. Both feels a bit "hackish".

Ideas?
