Typescript: Rationalize our presentation and handling of merged/alias symbols in the IDE.

Created on 4 May 2015  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: microsoft/TypeScript

Examples of where we could be better:

  1. Quick info for an alias could present information about the alias, as well as information about what the alias points to.
  2. Goto-type for a union type could allow you to go to any constituent union-type-element.
  3. Goto-def on a merged symbol could allow you to go to any declaration.
  4. Quick info on a merged symbol could show you all the constituent declaration pieces.

etc. etc.

Can we hope, that it will be implemented somtime soon?

It is very annoying, when using es6 modules import - all classes in application have described problems -no highlihting, etc. (because, every class in separate module). That's more, TSX misses type cheking, when component is imported (attribute types and names are not checked at all).

Is there any plans at all to implement this? It's very frustrating to work with code that's not properly highlighted...

I think we already did this?
