About TypeScript Importer
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 ...
Configuration
This can be configured in .vscode/settings.json.
Settings will only be applied on startup or executing the reindex command.
tsimporter.filesToScan - Glob for which files in your workspace to scan, defaults to ['/*.ts','/*.tsx']
tsimporter.filesToExclude - Glob for files to exclude from watch and scan, e.g ./out/**. Defaults to nothing
tsimporter.showNotifications - Show status notifications, default is false
tsimporter.doubleQuotes - Use double quotes rather than single
tsimporter.spaceBetweenBraces - Insert spaces between the import braces. ( import {test} from 'test' vs. import { test } from 'test' )
tsimporter.disabled - Disables the extension
tsimporter.removeFileExtensions - File Extensions to remove. default is '.d.ts,.ts,.tsx'
tsimporter.lowImportance - If true, the code completion items will be sorted back to the build in completion items. default is false
tsimporter.emitSemicolon - If false, no semicolon will be written. default is true
tsimporter.tsconfigName - An alternative tsconfig.json filename. default is 'tsconfig.json'
tsimporter.noStatusBar - True to hide the status bar
tsimporter.preferRelative - When true shorter relative imports will be be prefered instead of absolute imports
