TypeScript 7 for Nova

Fast, modern TypeScript & JavaScript language support for Nova,
powered by the native TypeScript 7 language server.

TypeScript 7 is the new native (Go) compiler, and it ships a language server
right inside the regular typescript
package. This extension launches that server and wires it into Nova, so your
editor stays in sync with the same TypeScript that builds your project — just
much faster.

Features

• Autocomplete, diagnostics, hover docs, and signature help, straight from the language server
• Inlay hints for parameter names, variable types, and return types (configurable)
• Format on save and Organize imports on save, global or per-workspace
• A sidebar showing live server status, the resolved executable, and its version
• Editor commands: Go to Definition, Go to Type Definition, Go to Implementation,
  Find References, Rename Symbol, Format Document, Organize Imports, and Code Actions
• Extension commands: Find Workspace Symbol, Restart Language Server, and Preferences

Getting started

Install TypeScript 7 in your project:

npm install --save-dev typescript@^7

That's it — open a TypeScript or JavaScript file and the extension activates
automatically. The @typescript/native-preview channel (tsgo) works too.

Finding the server

The extension looks for the server executable in this order:

1. The Path to TypeScript server setting (per-workspace, then global)
2. Your project's local install (node_modules/.bin/tsc, then tsgo)
3. A copy bundled with the extension, if present
4. tsc on your $PATH

Configuration

All options live under Extensions → TypeScript 7 → Preferences. The server
path and save actions can also be overridden per-workspace.
