Auto import feature

[cevek]

Webstorm have cool feature like auto import entities from indexed files

for example we are typing: new Foo() and WS prompt "import Foo from 'foo.ts'?" if we says yes, then it append to header import {Foo} from './deep/folder/path/foo'

Cool. Some guidance : https://github.com/TypeStrong/atom-typescript/blob/master/docs/quickfix.md

⚠️ Its hard stuff that needs close attention ... so instead of marking up for grabs marking as wishlist as I value contributor time and effort 🌹

Great!
But why import foo = require('../foo') instead of import {foo} from '../foo'?

import foo = is not the same as import {foo}. it is more like import * as foo 🌹

I have a PR (#791) submitted that adds a quick fix option for an "import from" statement.

I got a missing dependency "Cannot find name ", but get no quick fix suggestion. I am on version 7.16.1. Any advice?

Thanks for your work - this feature is much needed.

@amb-it-ion can you share the code snippet. Might be the canProvideFix check is not valid for your code https://github.com/TypeStrong/atom-typescript/pull/791/files#diff-8fa30ff973791698c79754125ec84700R39

Please note that the TypeScript team is investigating a QuickFix api similar to Refactor api. Everyone is ofcourse is free to do whatever, this was just info 🌹

Sorry, guys but is it working right now?
really want to use atom with TS, but without auto import feature like in Webstrom, feels really akward :)

+1 This is the reason I stay with Webstorm. There is a package that does this for regular js. Could it be ported to work for ts?
