How to implement TypeScript 2.2 plugin?

[angelozerr]

TypeScript 2.2 will provide the capability to customize TypeScript tsserver commands with plugin.

Today it exists 2 plugins :

• A plugin for Angular2 => https://github.com/angular/angular/tree/master/modules/%40angular/language-service
• A plugin for tslint => https://github.com/angelozerr/tslint-language-service

I'm trying to implement tslint plugin like Angular2 plugin, but it should be cool if we could have a guide like "How to implement TypeScript plugin". For instance I have noticed that Angular2 plugin waits a method create(info: ts.server.PluginCreateInfo). Could you specify please which properties contains ts.server.PluginCreateInfo (it seems that there is languageServiceHost, languageService and project)

Could you tell me please the strategy for loading the plugin? How tsserver which plugins it must load?

Many thanks for your clarification!

This is still work in progress. so there is not really a TS 2.2 plugin. you can follow the progress in #12231

Thanks @mhegazy for your answer. Now I see how to plugins to load are declared (in the tsconfig.json).

Thanks again!
