Using in vanilla JS / JavaScript projects

[Cortys]

Is it possible to use this package for vanilla js?

Even without the type annotations, TypeScripts autocomplete suggestions are a lot better than those of most other Atom packages I tried.

Even without the type annotations,

sadly not at the moment. The TypeScript compiler is really stingy about file extensions. And we've followed this convention deep within our code.

Leaving open as a wishlist 🌹

For me this is more about being able to use some of typescripts abilities without having to change the workflow of everyone on the team. For a lot of people even changing the file extension is to much as they are js purists aka don't like the idea of typescript. This way you can work along side another js dev without effecting them at all.

I wonder how Visual Studio Code has implemented the feature as they are just using the standard ts compiler.

+1 It would be great use TS features in .js files

It seems the TypeScript team agrees. Take a look at the items tagged salsa on their issues list. This may be coming in a future language service version, in which case I assume we'd add support for it.
