Read the announcement post!](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/typescript-native-port/) This repo is very much under active development; as such there are no published artifacts at this time. Interested developers can clone and run locally to try out things as they become available. ## How to Build and Run This repo uses [Go 1.24 or higher](https://go.dev/dl/), [Rust 1.85 or higher](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install), [Node.js with npm](https://nodejs.org/), and [`hereby`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/hereby). For tests and code generation, this repo contains a git submodule to the main TypeScript repo pointing to the commit being ported. When cloning, you'll want to clone with submodules: ```sh git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/microsoft/typescript-go.git ``` If you have already cloned the repo, you can initialize the submodule with: ```sh git submodule update --init --recursive ``` With the submodule in place and `npm ci`, you can run tasks via `hereby`, similar to the TypeScript repo: ```sh hereby build # Verify that the project builds hereby test # Run all tests hereby install-tools # Install additional tools such as linters hereby lint # Run all linters hereby format # Format all code hereby generate # Generate all Go code (e.g. diagnostics, committed to repo) ``` Additional tasks are a work in progress. `hereby` is not required to work on the repo; the regular `go` tooling (e.g., `go build`, `go test ./...`) will work as expected. `hereby` tasks are provided as a convenience for those familiar with the TypeScript repo. ### Running `tsgo` After running `hereby build`, you can run `built/local/tsgo`, which behaves mostly the same as `tsc`. ### Running LSP Prototype * Run `hereby build` to build the LSP server * Run `hereby install-extension` to build and install the VS Code extension. (Use `--insiders` to target `code-insiders` instead of `code`.) * Copy the `"typescript-go.executablePath"` setting printed by `hereby install-extension` to your VS Code settings. * Select "TypeScript: Use TypeScript Go (Experimental)" from the VS Code command palette (or set `"typescript.experimental.useTsgo"` in your VS Code settings). Alternatively, to debug and run the VS Code extension without installing it globally: * Run VS Code in the repo workspace (`code .`) * Copy `.vscode/launch.template.json` to `.vscode/launch.json` * F5 (or `Debug: Start Debugging` from the command palette) This will launch a new VS Code instance which uses the Corsa LS as the backend. If correctly set up, you should see "tsgo" in the status bar when a TypeScript or JavaScript file is open: ![LSP Prototype Screenshot](.github/ls-screenshot.png) ## What Works So Far? This is still a work in progress and is not yet at full feature parity with TypeScript. Bugs may exist. Please check this list carefully before logging a new issue or assuming an intentional change. | Feature | Status | Notes | |---------|--------|-------| | Program creation | done | Same files and module resolution as TS5.8. Not all resolution modes supported yet. | | Parsing/scanning | done | Exact same syntax errors as TS5.8 | | Commandline and `tsconfig.json` parsing | mostly done | Entry point slightly different for now | | Type resolution | done | Same types as TS5.8 | | Type checking | done | Same errors, locations, and messages as TS5.8. Types printback in errors may display differently (in progress) | | JavaScript-specific inference and JS Doc | not ready | - | | JSX | done | - | | Declaration emit | not ready | Coming soon | | Emit (JS output) | in progress | `target: esnext` well-supported, other targets may have gaps | | Watch mode | prototype | Watches files and rebuilds, but no incremental rechecking | | Build mode / project references | not ready | - | | Incremental build | not ready | - | | Language service (LSP) | prototype | Minimal functionality (errors, hover, go to def). More features coming soon | | API | not ready | - | Definitions: * **done** aka "believed done": We're not currently aware of any deficits or major left work to do. OK to log bugs * **in progress**: currently being worked on; some features may work and some might not. OK to log panics, but nothing else please * **prototype**: proof-of-concept only; do not log bugs * **not ready**: either haven't even started yet, or far enough from ready that you shouldn't bother messing with it yet ## Other Notes Long-term, we expect that this repo and its contents will be merged into `microsoft/TypeScript`. As a result, the repo and issue tracker for typescript-go will eventually be closed, so treat discussions/issues accordingly.
