---------------------------------------
Summary: Better code completion for JS with typescript type
definition files
Key: NETBEANS-261
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-261
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: javascript - Documentation, javascript - Editor
Affects Versions: Next
Reporter: Christian Lenz
I read an article about the new Salsa feature in Visual Studio 2016:
https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Salsa
MS tried to implement a better intellisense support for javascript again. Same
procedure as every year. But it's not that easy because of the dynamically type
system of js as we know. The new idea is to use typescript type definitions
files ALSO you don't want to write in TypeScript. The definitions are only
helper during the development time in Visual Studio to support the code
completion/intellisense. It's based on a new language service called "salsa".
Maybe this could be a good enhancement too for supporting a better code
completion and go to whatever if netbeans could use TS typedefinition files too?
I think VS Code and WebStorm did the same thing and it will make the whole code
completion of JS much much better.
Cheers
Chris
P.S. the other thing to resolve better and maybe have type checking while
writing plain js code is to use JsDoc as I wrote it here:
