How can we program in TypeScript in Emacs ? Let's dive in.
Typescript.el - syntax highlighting and indentation
typescript.el (in MELPA) offers simple syntax highlighting and indentation support. For advanced features, see Tide below.
Tide - Typescript Interactive Development for Emacs
Tide features:
- ElDoc
- Auto complete
- Flycheck
- Jump to definition, Jump to type definition
- Find occurrences
- Rename symbol
- Imenu
- Compile On Save
- Highlight Identifiers
- Code Fixes
- supports jsx files
- format options via elisp or
tsfmt.json - works well with js2-mode
It uses tsserver as the backend for most of the features. It writes out a comprehensive log file.
