vscode-wasm-typescript
Language server host for typescript using vscode's sync-api in the browser.
Getting up and running
To test this out, you'll need three shells:
npm i
for vscode itselfnpm run watch-web
for the web sidenode <root>/scripts/code-web.js --coi
The last command will open a browser window. You'll want to add ?vscode-coi=
to the end. This is for enabling shared array buffers. So, for example:
http://localhost:8080/?vscode-coi=
.
Working on type acquisition
In order to work with web's new type acquisition, you'll need to enable
TypeScript > Experimental > Tsserver > Web: Enable Project Wide Intellisense
in your VS Code options (Ctrl-,
), you may need to reload the page.
This happens when working in a regular .js
file on a dependency without
declared types. You should be able to open file.js
and write something like
import lodash from 'lodash';
at the top of the file and, after a moment, get
types and other intellisense features (like Go To Def/Source Def) working as
expected. This scenario works off Tsserver's own Automatic Type Acquisition
capabilities, and simulates a "global" types cache stored at
/vscode-global-typings/ts-nul-authority/project
, which is backed by an
in-memory MemFs
FileSystemProvider
.
Simulated node_modules
For regular .ts
files, instead of going through Tsserver's type acquisition,
a separate AutoInstallerFs
is used to create a "virtual" node_modules
that
extracts desired packages on demand, to an underlying MemFs
. This will
happen any time a filesystem operation is done inside a node_modules
folder
across any project in the workspace, and will use the "real" package.json
(and, if present, package-lock.json
) to resolve the dependency tree.
A fallback is then set up such that when a URI like
memfs:/path/to/node_modules/lodash/lodash.d.ts
is accessed, that gets
redirected to
vscode-node-modules:/ts-nul-authority/memfs/ts-nul-authority/path/to/node_modules/lodash/lodash.d.ts
,
which will be sent to the AutoInstallerFs
.
