Description
Problem
We are working on improving discoverability of JS/TS refactorings and quick fixes in VS Code. As part of this, we'd like to put together documentation and a new contribution points that lists out the code actions provided by TypeScript
At the moment, the only way I know to determine this list is to look through the TypeScript codebase.
Proposal
We'd like a way to get metadata about all the current TS quick fixes and code actions. The main information we are interested in:
- Identifier for the quick fix
- Human readable name / description for the quick fix
- (possibly) A way to map this description to the localized description that TS ships with
Two ideas on how this could be exposed:
-
In the TS repo, check in a generated
CodeActions.json
file. This file would be updated whenever the refactorings or quick fixes change. VS Code would not need this to be published as part of the TypeScript package -
Expose a command line option or tool to dump out all known refactorings and quick fixes.
