Generating XML attributes and a XML Text node at the same time

[rzacherl]

Hello,

I have the following class definition with embedded decorators:

@XMLElement({
  root: "ContentFile"
})
export class ContentFile {
  @XMLChild({
    name: ""
  })
  private _path: string;

  @XMLAttribute({
    name: "Numpages"
  })
  private _numPages: number;
...
}

After serialisation I need a XML structure like this:

<ContentFile NumPages="1">this is the value stored in private property _path</ContentFile>

Unfortunately I can't figure out how to do this because as soon as I declare _path as a XMLChild I get a sub-Element:

<ContentFile NumPages="1">
    <_path>this is the value stored in private property _path</_path>
</ContentFile>

I miss something like a @XMLText decorator which allows me to serialize a class property into a XML text node.
Or is it possible to achieve this with existing means?

Best,
Robert
