Complex types are not preserved when transformed in `normalize`

This module relies on class-transformer to transform plain config object to class instances, which supports only plain arrays. Also, it seems a bit uncommon to use Uint8Array in configurations. Anyway, I can provide a workaround with getter functions:

export class RootConfig {
  @Type(() => Number)
  @IsDefined()
  public readonly numbers!: number[];

  public get uint8() {
    return new Uint8Array(this.numbers);
  }
}

If javascript has a constructor function Uint8 like Number, you can use @Type(() => Uint8) to create a Uint8[]. But sadly there isn't.

Thank you, the getter method works.

Also, it seems a bit uncommon to use Uint8Array in configurations.

I am using it to load the Solana secret key from environment variables which is expected to be a Uint8Array.
