Description
I have been wondering for a while why I was not getting any auto complete suggestions for any @ember/... packages in VSCode. After some playing around, I found out that it only seems to provide auto-complete for direct dependencies defined in the package.json file. Since all the ember types are actually provided as sub-dependencies via @ember/types, they are not used. After I replaced @types/ember with the full list from there:
{
"@types/ember__application": "*",
"@types/ember__array": "*",
"@types/ember__component": "*",
"@types/ember__controller": "*",
"@types/ember__debug": "*",
"@types/ember__engine": "*",
"@types/ember__error": "*",
"@types/ember__object": "*",
"@types/ember__polyfills": "*",
"@types/ember__routing": "*",
"@types/ember__runloop": "*",
"@types/ember__service": "*",
"@types/ember__string": "*",
"@types/ember__template": "*",
"@types/ember__test": "*",
"@types/ember__utils": "*",
"@types/htmlbars-inline-precompile": "*",
"@types/jquery": "*",
"@types/rsvp": "*"
}
(Replacing the stars with actual versions)
Auto complete worked like a charm. For me as a non-TS-expect, that was rather unexpected.
- As a developer, I want to get autocompletion for ember packages out of the box after installing ember-cli-typescript
Would it make sense to either install these directly instead of @types/ember? It is a bit sub-ideal that it kind of bloats up your package.json, but if this is what is needed for auto-complete I'll gladly take it.
