Typescript: Preferred path style for auto imports

[danriedl]

Hi,

I'd like to ask for a feature where I don't know much about the technical burdens this would bring.
I'm working on a big Angular project where we decided to do path aliases, to declutter our imports.

From this

import { ThemeService } from './services/theme.service';

To this

import { ThemeService } from '@projectname/services';

This is achieved by setting up tsconfig.json like that:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "paths": {
      "@projectname/services/*": [
        "./src/app/services/*"
      ]
    }
  }
}

So what I'd like to ask is, could we have something that the "auto-import" thing which is going on respects my tsconfig.json and suggests to use the path alias for importing instead of the filepath and filename like it is right now?

This works in VSCodium (VSCode) by setting typescript.preferences.importModuleSpecifier to non-relative.

I hope this is not too confusing, and would love to answer questions if there are some.

That should be configured through the lsp config which on the latest release you can specify like this (you might also be able to specify this in a tsconfig.json):

[[language]]
name = "typescript"
[language.config.preferences]
importModuleSpecifier = "non-relative"

On master it would be

[language-server.typescript-language-server.config.preferences]
importModuleSpecifier = "non-relative"
