Visual Studio Code autocomplete does not have the automatic methods

[shazron]

Expected Behaviour

Autocomplete is available for all methods, including the auto generated ones.

Actual Behaviour

Autocomplete is not available for all methods, e.g. listComputedAttributes is missing for example.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Require the library in your code
2. init to get the SDK object
3. Try to autocomplete to list a method, like listComputedAttributes.

Investigation

Visual Studio Code is not using the types.d.ts file for autocomplete, it is using the methods it introspects from the exported module. Find out how Visual Studio Code derives its autocomplete data from, so we can fix it in the library.

WebStorm works fine without any configuration or additional files:

1. Methods autocomplete:

2. Params list:

Params list is a bit buggy, sometimes duplicated, and sometimes missing params defined with quotes, like schema.name

For some parameters it works fine, eg

So it looks like only if dot is in param name it has issues.

Not sure if this is related: #6 (two blank lines in the JSDoc, thus the types.d.ts file)

After reading the VS Code docs, I believe the typings file should be called index.d.ts to solve this issue.

Ok so did some research on this, vscode intellisense picks up the d.ts file if:

• there is a types field in package.json pointing to the d.ts file OR if the d.ts file is in the same directory and has the same name as the main file => in this case src/index.d.ts
• the d.ts file must use export instead of the declare keyword in the tsd-jsdoc generated file, see “declare class” vs “export class” englercj/tsd-jsdoc#90

the same applies to other repos where we use a d.ts file

will raise a PR
