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 ...

This can be configured in .vscode/settings.json.

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'
