Nvim-Typescript

Nvim language service plugin for typescript

Installation

First make sure you have Neovim 0.2.1 or highter. This includes the node-host that is required for this plugin.

You will need a global install of the neovim client as well.

npm install -g neovim

You also need to have typescript installed globally.

npm -g install typescript

Then add the following plugins. This example uses Dein.vim, but any plugin manager will work.

 " Dein
  call dein#add('mhartington/nvim-typescript', {'build': './install.sh'})
 " For async completion
  call dein#add('Shougo/deoplete.nvim')


 " Plug
  Plug 'mhartington/nvim-typescript', { 'do': './install.sh' }
 " For async completion
  Plug 'Shougo/deoplete.nvim'

" Enable deoplete at startup

  let g:deoplete#enable_at_startup = 1

Limitation

Currently, this plugin requires a tsconfig.json to be present in the current working directory. This is how we can feed TSS proper project information, like modules and files. See this issue for clarification.

If no completion is happening, please be sure to have a Typescript syntax file in your RTP. Neovim does not include a default syntax for Typescript, so be sure to include one. A popular syntax file for Typescript is yats.vim

Open Open Source, or how to make this everyone's code

If you happened to build something and would love to make a PR, I would be more than happy to add contributors. If something you do add happens to get merged (most likely it will 😁 ) you'll get a collaborator request. This has worked out very well in the Node community and I want it to happen here. This is as much my code as it is your code.

Debugging

There are a few things you'll have to modify in your vim config in order to be able to effectively work on this plugin:

  call dein#local('~/GitHub', {},['nvim-typescript'])

  let g:deoplete#enable_at_startup = 1
  let g:deoplete#enable_debug = 1
  let g:deoplete#enable_profile = 1
  call deoplete#enable_logging('DEBUG', '/PATH_TO/deoplete.log')

You will now be able to tail -f /PATH_TO/deoplete.log, and see debug output appear.

TODOS

Refactor client to support geterr request
Add TSGetErr
