tsgo preview: fails to index and offer import suggestions

[laciferin2024]

The above is with the typescript extension.

But when I use tsgo, I don't see any import suggestions.

Auto imports are not yet implemented. https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-go#what-works-so-far

@jakebailey is there a rough timeline for the auto-imports feature? I used tsgo in my production app to help test in a real environment, but I realised how much I rely on the imports, so I paused its use for now.

I do not have a timeline for this, no. The LSP code is currently undergoing a refactor to make it play more nicely with concurrency, which will likely enable us to do auto imports without pulling our hair out as much as it would right now.

That's great to hear, thanks for the update and the amazing work!

Was #1505 the aforementioned refactor?

[jakebailey]

Yes, and see #1553

As a side note, and I know I'm jumping the gun...

But I always have to install https://github.com/tidalhq/ts-plugin-sort-import-suggestions in order to hoist my app prefixed imports to the top @/myApp, as other packages like @angular like to use @ as well. It's so prevalent that the plugin is an essential part of any projects we work on in Typescript.

It's confiugured with two simple options:

"moveUpPatterns": ["@/", "\\.{1,2}/"], // move up matches of the regex strings
"moveDownPatterns": ["diet"], // Move `dist` down in the suggestions, by deafult it's `[]`

It would be nice for this kind of override to have first-party support due to its simplicity.

Can't wait to try :)
