Hi everybody,
I have prefered to create from scratch the TypeScript client (instead of using tom work) because:
* I have doen the same thing than tern.java (plugins which ar enot linked to Eclipse) to consume it with Netbeans, etc
* it doesn't requires Java8.
* I use collector architecture to provide with an easy mean, asynch/synch completion, with or without timeout, etc
For the moment, I have a lot worked about completion features:
* with a simple Java main:
https://github.com/angelozerr/typescript.java/blob/master/samples/ts.samples/src/test/Main.java You can notice that I have managed too update of the content of the typescript file (when user changes content of the editor). Today it works like Sublime and Vim integration which consumes tsserver (with a temporay file, it's strange but it's the only mean to do that since tsserevr use readline). It seems that VSCode uses "change" command to update content. I will study that.
I have not tested with a lot of files, but performance seems very good (tsserver uses a system of request/response which is very performant. I hav eused Future task for that an dit works very good). With existing Eclipse TypeScript plugins, my Eclispe freeze every time with the same file. Their integration waits a response from a request and doesn't uses tsserver. In my case I use tsserver (which is used by VSCode which is very performant) and Future task.
My next work is to integrate TypeScript validation by developping a WTP Validator (like I have done with tern.java). Validation with tsserver is done with async mode, so I'm very impatient to see the result.
Hope you will like it.
