Free Typescript plugin for eclipse?

Question

It is 2017 today, typescript language popularity is ramping, and I am not able to find a good eclipse plugin that fully supports typescript.

I have tested two that look promising, but they both are still not really ready to be used:

• TypeScript / Webclipse from genuitec: Works pretty good, but it requires a commercial license.

https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/typescript-0

• Palantir typescript plugin: Totally free, but fails to detect latest typescript syntax, and has a bug that shows a blank window when opening the compare editor with typescript files. It also looks like is not maintained anymore.

Anybody knows a good tool to use with ts?

Answer 1

Eclipse Wild Web Developer plugin is useful for any kind of web application development.

Simple and rich edition of typical main web and configuration files (HTML, CSS, JS, TS, JSON, YAML, XML -with schema support-) and debugging of Node.js apps in the Eclipse IDE. To see it in action, open the desired file with the Generic Editor that's included by default in the Eclipse IDE.

• Supported file formats for edition:

  HTML CSS, SCSS, SASS, LESS JavaScript (EcmaScript 2018 - 9th edition) TypeScript 3.3 JSON and JSONC (including schema support) YAML (including schema support, Kubernetes schema built-in) XML (including schema support), XSL, XSD, DTD

• Supported frameworks (file specialization) for edition:

  Kubernetes Angular (Components in TypeScript files) React (JSX, TSX, embedded HTML)

• Supported feature for edition are

  Validation (diagnostics, markers) Code Completion Hover Outline Rename refactoring Jump to declaration Find references Color preview ... and other features part of the Language Server Protocol

• Supported debugging target

  Node.js Firefox

Answering my own question, I found a plugin that is totally free and works awesome:

https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/typescript-ide

It uses the same syntax coloring as javascript, and autocompletion works wonderfully.

Great work guys!!!!
