It's an awesome idea. We just need a mode for code mirror.

glad i am not the only one.

WHat i liked about typescript was the refactoring support through the strong typing aspects of the language. just adding syntax highlighting to code mirror woudl be a waste. The refactoring is where the action is in my opinion. I nevr want to have to go back to Visual Studio every again

There are a number of pieces that would need to happen to truly support any new language in Brackets:

Syntax coloring mode
Comment/uncomment command
Extend 'Quick Open' to support jumping to functions within a file (as is supported in JS)
Extend 'Quick Edit' to support opening functions in other files (as in JS)

And then there are additional features that could take advantage of the strong typing that TypeScript offers (same goes for other languages like Dart):

Code hinting driven by static type info
Search/replace (i.e. refactoring) driven by static type/reference info
Related features like 'go to definition'
More advanced features like 'call hierarchy', etc.

As you can see, that's quite a bit of work. @gedw99, are there any of these you'd be interested in working on? :-)

Ideally new languages could be added optional extensions, keeping the core Brackets distro lightweight. Many of the things above can already be written that way, but there are a few (e.g. new syntax coloring modes) that would need new core APIs first. Feel free to contribute to those areas too, as it will move things closer to making this possible!

I can't help. Am doing too much at the moment.

The refactoring currently works OK in the web site that Microsoft put up for demo the language. Looking at how it works should show how to work out the API you need.

@peterflynn I think that can use a language parser like jison to help implement other languages support, put jison in the thirdparty folder of brackets and make a utils ex: ParserUtil.js module. Is a good idea?

I planing use jison to make a extension for php code-hints and syntax error detection.

The TypeScript source comes already with all things required for a good IDE integration. I've created a small example on how to access it:

http://jviereck.github.com/TypeScriptServiceExample/

This is all running in the browser. It makes use of the functionality exposed by the TypeScript LanguageService. The ILanguageService has the following API:

    // Taken from TypeScriptRepo/src/services/languageService.ts

    export interface ILanguageService {
        host: ILanguageServiceHost;

        refresh(): void;

        logAST(fileName: string): void;
        logSyntaxAST(fileName: string): void;

        getErrors(maxCount: number): TypeScript.ErrorEntry[];

        getScriptAST(fileName: string): TypeScript.Script;
        getScriptErrors(fileName: string, maxCount: number): TypeScript.ErrorEntry[];
        getCompletionsAtPosition(fileName: string, pos: number, isMemberCompletion: bool): CompletionInfo;
        getTypeAtPosition(fileName: string, pos: number): TypeInfo;
        getNameOrDottedNameSpan(fileName: string, startPos: number, endPos: number): SpanInfo;
        getBreakpointStatementAtPosition(fileName: string, pos: number): SpanInfo;
        getSignatureAtPosition(fileName: string, pos: number): SignatureInfo;
        getDefinitionAtPosition(fileName: string, pos: number): DefinitionInfo;
        getReferencesAtPosition(fileName: string, pos: number): ReferenceEntry[];
        getOccurrencesAtPosition(fileName: string, pos: number): ReferenceEntry[];
        getImplementorsAtPosition(fileName: string, pos: number): ReferenceEntry[];
        getNavigateToItems(searchValue: string): NavigateToItem[];
        getScriptLexicalStructure(fileName: string): NavigateToItem[];
        getOutliningRegions(fileName: string): NavigateToItem[];

        getScriptSyntaxAST(fileName: string): ScriptSyntaxAST;
        getFormattingEditsForRange(fileName: string, minChar: number, limChar: number, options: FormatCodeOptions): TextEdit[];
        getFormattingEditsAfterKeystroke(fileName: string, position: number, key: string, options: FormatCodeOptions): TextEdit[];
        getBraceMatchingAtPosition(fileName: string, position: number): TextRange[];
        getSmartIndentAtLineNumber(fileName: string, lineNumber: number, options: Services.EditorOptions): number;

        getAstPathToPosition(script: TypeScript.AST, pos: number, options: TypeScript.GetAstPathOptions /*= Tools.GetAstPathOptions.Default*/): TypeScript.AstPath;
        getIdentifierPathToPosition(script: TypeScript.AST, pos: number): TypeScript.AstPath;
        getSymbolAtPosition(script: TypeScript.AST, pos: number): TypeScript.Symbol;

        getSymbolTree(): Services.ISymbolTree;
    }

I'm not an expert on this, but feel free to ask if something is unclear on how to use it. I would love to see TS support in Brackets :)
