About:
This package provides a Language Server Protocol (LSP) implementation for TypeScript, acting as a bridge between code editors and the TypeScript compiler's tsserver. It enables rich language features like autocompletion, go-to-definition, and refactoring support in any LSP-compatible editor. Its main value is offering a standardized, editor-agnostic TypeScript development experience.
Key Features:
  • Provides full LSP support for TypeScript and JavaScript
  • Enables intelligent code completion and hover information
  • Supports refactoring operations like renaming symbols
  • Offers diagnostics and error reporting in real-time
  • Works with any editor supporting the Language Server Protocol
Use Cases:
  • Enhancing TypeScript development in lightweight or non-IDE text editors
  • Creating a consistent TypeScript editing experience across different development environments
  • Integrating advanced TypeScript language features into custom developer tools or IDEs
Alternatives:
  • tsserver – The underlying compiler server; this package wraps it with a standardized LSP interface for broader editor compatibility.
  • vscode-typescript – The built-in TypeScript support for VS Code; this server is editor-agnostic and works outside VS Code.
