TS Importer

Automatically searches for TypeScript definitions in workspace files and provides all known symbols as completion item to allow code completion.

If a TypeScripts ^1.9.0 paths.* mapping is set in the tsconfig.json, the imports are tried to be resolved absolutly. Otherwise the imports are resolved relative to the current file.

The current supported symbols are:

  export class [name] { ... }
  export abstract class [name] { ... }
  export interface [name] { ... }
  export type [name] =  { ... },
  export const [name] = ...
  export var [name] = ...
  export let [name] = ...
  export function [name] = ...
  export function* [name] = ...
  export enum [name] = ...
  export default ...
