Improving Code Assist with TypeScript #24

Closed paulvi closed 6 years ago

paulvi commented 11 years ago

Related to #7 .

JavaScript lacks type definition. This problem is address in Microsoft TypeScript language. As I understand, they also provide files for common libraries with that information. The idea is to get those files and check if we can get some useful result from them (in a quick way)

A large collection of declaration files for popular JavaScript libraries Example https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/node/node.d.ts

All JavaScript engines for IDE spend a lot of efforts guessing type of JavaScript variable.

I believe with some Java parser for TypeScript and with over 100+ libraries descriptions https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped it would be possible to give quick implementation for simple completions for those libraries.

What about if we just use TypeScript definition files to describe external libraries APIs? There are a lot of those on Definitely Typed.
