+**Note**: 
+You need the _babel-plugin-transform-decorators_ plugin to use the ``@Input`` decorator. 
+If you don't want or cannot add this plugin to you webpack config you need to use the HOC as a
+function (like the ``connect()`` HOC of Redux).
+
+Example: ``export default input()(BasicInput)``
+
+See the [Babel Documentation](https://babeljs.io/docs/plugins/transform-decorators/) for a detailed guide
+about how to add decorators to your application.
