TS Server ? #21

Open druppy opened 9 years ago

Hi ...

I just seen that this new TS Server have been pulled into the tsc project, and if I am not mistaken this may be a future but also better solution than the tss : https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/pull/2041

If that could be used, less middle layer are needed for this service.

cool, good idea

I took a deeper look, and there are still lot of unfixed diff-comments which belong to the server code.

The second problem is, that there is no option for compiler options. But there is code inside to read compiler config files, so I think this will come (soon).

Second: the tsserver is great. it allowes for deep incremental reparsing of changed source. It automatically detect projects. That means, as a consumer/user of the server, i only need to register the opened files in the editor. TS Server does the rest.

In effect, I could delete lots of code from this plugin.

This also would improve user expericence consistency between VS, ArcticTypescript and other editors.

I will definetly use this, but first things need to settle down a bit.

Ok, so I was not the only one thinking this could potentially become an interesting extension to tsc.

I will continue to keep an eye on the development (many things happens in the tsc project). When they need VS integration them self, I am sure many of these problems will be solved.
