jb55 / typescript-ctags

Adds TypeScript support to ctags

typescript-ctags

Installation

Add the contents of .ctags to your ~/.ctags file. If you don't have a ~/.ctags file already, simply download .ctags and drop it in your home folder.

typescript-ctags's Issues

Doesn't work for member functions that do not start with keywords "public", "protected" or "private"

Import line confuses vim's jump-to-definnition (C-])

With the import line there, vim may jump to an import of the current symbol (even in a random file!).

Removing the import line avoids this behaviour.

var, let, const tags

How would I go about making my variable declarations "tag-able"?

So I can do things like below (in vim)

var cars = ["car 1", "car2"];
...
console.log(cars.length) // with cursor on this line on `cars` tag jump to `var cars`

Thanks in advance for this very helpful ~/.ctags file!!

How does this work when you generate the ctags file from within vim?

In my vimrc I do the following to gen a .ctags file per project

function! RenewTagsFile()
    exe 'silent !rm -rf .ctags'
    exe 'silent !ctags -a -Rf .ctags --languages=javascript,typescript --exclude=.git --exclude=*.min.js --exclude=node_modules 2>/dev/null'
    exe 'redraw!'
endfunction

If I add this .ctags file in my home directory it doesn't seem to add any of the TS classes or functions as it does with other javascript

Thanks for the help!

Does not recognise class members declared with decorators

The definitions fail to recognise members declared with decorators (such as MobX's @observable and @computed).

Tests

It would be nice if there were tests like so:

1. Generate tags file from example code
2. Ensure outputs match what we expect

If someone would like to throw this together what would be awesome.

Generators support is missing

Generators are not supported.

This seems to fix the problem:

---regex-typescript=/^[ \t]*(export[ \t]+)?(default[ \t]+)?(async[ \t]+)?function[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_$]+)/\4/f,functions/
+--regex-typescript=/^[ \t]*(export[ \t]+)?(default[ \t]+)?(async[ \t]+)?function(\*)?[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_$]+)/\5/f,functions/
