About Goto definition alias
vscode-goto-alias
Go to Definition following alias redirections.
Usages
Install this extension from the VS Code Marketplace.
Set editor.gotoLocation.multipleDefinitions to goto in your VS Code settings for the best experience.
Motivation
For example, in Nuxt 3 or Vitesse projects, we provide auto import for APIs and components. To provide types for these auto imports, the tools will generate a .d.ts file to declare those APIs as "global" type.
With this declaration file, we could have type safety using autoImported in our code without importing it.
The only small downside is that when you use "Go to definition" in the code, the IDE will redirect you the the definition file we generated instead of the real definition source.
So, this extension is built to solve this. With this extension installed, when the "Go to definition" command hits the definition file, it will then redirect again to the definition source.
Working with Vue Components
If you find trouble redirecting auto-registed components by Nuxt 3 or unplugin-vue-components, you might want to enable the Takeover mode of Volar.
