Can't get typescript auto complete to work on ts and tsx files

[noam-honig]

Describe the bug

I'm writing a tutorial that uses typescript, and I can't get typescript auto complete to work on the code editor (and also typecheck)

Link to a StackBlitz project which shows the error

No response

Steps to reproduce

Here's my repo:
https://github.com/noam-honig/play-with-tutorial-kit/tree/typescript-typing

I use a vite typescript project for the template.

I added a file:
src\content\tutorial\1-basics\1-introduction\1-welcome_files\test.ts

type Person = {
  firstName: string;
  lastName: string;
};

export function test() {
  var p: Person = {
    // try typing firstName / lastName - I don't get any typing errors
  };

  alert(p.firstName + " " + p.lastName);
}

When I try to type firstName inside the new object, it doesn't auto complete, nor does it type check that I spelled it correctly.

Expected behavior

I expect auto complete to display firstName and lastName, and if I type a wrong value, to get some error highlighting as I do in stackblitz

Currently the code editor does not have type aware intellisense. However this is something we are planning to improve in future.

@AriPerkkio thanks for getting back to me, I see that in the angular tutorial it seems to work (at least partially)
https://angular.dev/tutorials/learn-angular

Is this a different engine?

Is this a different engine?

Looks like Angular's tutorial is using the same editor (CodeMirror) that TutorialKit uses. This simply hasn't been implemented on TutorialKit's side.

Hi Guys,

Just saying that this is my top priority feature - my tutorial (learn.remult.dev) is in typescript, and remult takes full advantage of typescript - but without the editor support, its missing the point a little.

So just in case you were wondering what's a priority for me - this is the one :)

Thanks
