# typescript.java **Repository Path**: mirrors_angelozerr/typescript.java ## Basic Information - **Project Name**: typescript.java - **Description**: TypeScript IDE for Eclipse with JSDT & tsserver - **Primary Language**: Unknown - **License**: MIT - **Default Branch**: master - **Homepage**: None - **GVP Project**: No ## Statistics - **Stars**: 0 - **Forks**: 0 - **Created**: 2020-09-24 - **Last Updated**: 2026-03-15 ## Categories & Tags **Categories**: Uncategorized **Tags**: None ## README __⚠️ typescript.java is now OUTDATED, it's recommended to use [Eclipse Wild Web Developer](https://github.com/eclipse/wildwebdeveloper) instead__ # typescript.java [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/angelozerr/typescript.java.png)](http://travis-ci.org/angelozerr/typescript.java) [![Eclipse install](https://marketplace.eclipse.org/sites/all/themes/solstice/public/images/marketplace/btn-install.png)](http://marketplace.eclipse.org/marketplace-client-intro?mpc_install=3037133) Goal of typescript.java is to provide the capability to consume TypeScript language Service with [tsserver](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/blob/master/bin/tsserver) in a Java context. Any Java IDE like Eclipse, Netbeans, WebStorm could consume typescript.java. ## TypeScript IDE On top of `core` module typescript.java provides an **Eclipse IDE** integration with TypeScript. ![JSDT TypeScript Completion](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/images/JSDTTypeScriptCompletion.png) `TypeScript IDE` provides the following features: - Wizards: - [New TypeScript Project](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/TypeScript-Wizards#project) - Editors: - [JSX Editor](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/JSX-Editor-Features) - [TypeScript Editor](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/Editor-Features) - [Completion](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/Editor-Features#completion) - [Templates](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/Editor-Features#templates) - [Hyperlink](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/Editor-Features#hyperlink) - [Hover](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/Editor-Features#hover) - [Validation](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/Editor-Features#validation) - [Quick Fixes](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/Editor-CodeFixes) - [Code Folding](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/Editor-Features#code-folding) - [Code Lens](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/Editor-CodeLens) - [Formatting](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/Editor-Features#formatting) - [Mark Occurrences](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/Editor-Features#mark-occurrences) - [Find References](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/Editor-Features#find-references) - [Refactoring](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/Editor-Features#refactoring) - [Outline](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/Editor-Features#outline) - [tsconfig.json Editor](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/TSConfig-Editor-Features) - [tslint.json Editor](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/TSLint-Editor-Features) - [Compile on save](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/TypeScript-Compiler) - [Debugging](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/TypeScript-Debugging) - [Project Explorer](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/Project-Explorer) - [ATA](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/ATA) To install TypeScript IDE, please start to read [Getting Started](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/Getting-Started) section. This integration looks like [tern.java](https://github.com/angelozerr/tern.java); JSDT was extended (completion, hyperlink, hover, etc) to consumme the official TypeScript server [tsserver](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/blob/master/bin/tsserver). ## Core Features Once that TypeScript Service client which consumes tsserver is created with Java using `core` module, you can use it in any Java context (Eclipse, Netbeans, etc). typescript.java provides the capability to use TypeScript language Service with tsserver with SWT : * contentassist which uses typescript.java. If you start the SWT [TypeScriptEditor](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/blob/master/samples/ts.eclipse.swt.samples/src/ts/eclipse/swt/samples/TypeScriptEditor.java) demo, you will see contentassist available for JavaScript : ![SWT TypeScript Editor](https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/wiki/images/SWTTypeScriptEditor.png) # Similar Project ## Java See https://github.com/BestSolution-at/java-tsserver which provides the capability to consume tsserver with Java. So why developping an another tsclient? * java-tsserver requires Java8. Eclipse IDE uses Java7. * Uses tsclient API instead of using TypeScript Language Service API. ## Eclipse * [Eclipse TypeScript](https://github.com/palantir/eclipse-typescript) * [TypeEcs](http://typecsdev.com/) Those plugins provide a lot of advanced features for TypeScript (debug, refactoring, etc) compare to typescript.java. So why developping an another Eclipse Plugins? Here my idea: * use JSDT JavaScript Editor instead of developping custom editor (DONE for completion, hyperlink, hover). * use WTP Validator instead of Builder for validation (DONE). * consume "official" tsserver instead of consumming custom bridge language service like Eclipse TypeScript/TypeEcs have done: * user will able to update the tsserver just with "npm install typescript". * other editors consumes "tsserver", so there are a big community which uses "tsserver": * [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) (Microsoft) * [Typescript-Sublime-plugin](https://github.com/Microsoft/Typescript-Sublime-plugin) (Microsoft) * [A Vim plugin for TypeScript](https://github.com/Quramy/tsuquyomi) * use async "event" of tsserver to improve performance for validation for instance. * use async completion, etc
