• VSCode Version:Latest 1.1.0
• OS Version:windows

Steps to Reproduce:

1. In your controller inject a service/factory for a http call
2. press F12 (go to definition ) to visit the factory which results negative?

Please provide a short code snippet for which this behavior can be reproduced. Or even better create a repository on gitHub which we can clone and see this behavior

1.factory.js file

(function() {
'use strict';

    app.factory('Service', function() {
        return{
            Callmefromcontroller : function() {
           return '1';
                }
        }  
});
});

2.controller.js

 // Controller of the App

app.controller('Aboutus2Ctrl', function ($scope,Service) {
Service.Callmefromcontroller();

  });

when i press F12 on Callmefromcontroller in controller.js I need to go to Callmefromcontroller defintion method which is in factory.js file?Any help on this

[jrieken]

@vinod-a-ext I formatted the snippet to your previous comment, hope it's still correct.

[jrieken]

and to clarify, you want go to definition understand the service injection tricks such that the editor knows that the Service argument has been injected and find where it was defined?

Spot on @jrieken i need same thing which done perfectly in sublime text editor

[jrieken]

ok. moving to the TypeScript team which provides the brain the behind JavaScript and TypeScript smartness in VS Code. I know they have been starting some work on support for angular et al

[mhegazy]

There are no plans on supporting this understanding of angular code. such deep understanding of the run-time behavior of a framework is out of scope at the current time.

[jrieken]

@mhegazy out of curiosity and cos I met angular folks yesterday: I remember talk about compiler plugins etc. What happened to that?

[vinod-a-ext]

So I think we have to compile the Runtime complier of sublime text editor 3 which is the best one to do this so far.Moving to sublime Text 3 editor from VS Code.Hoping to come back to Vs code onces i got this feature.

@vinod-a-ext what package are you using with ST?

[vinod-a-ext]

when I press F12 on the 44 line (refer below image) it (sublime text editor) comes with a pop up listing l files ( by comparing all files in the project with the same name--- on the word I pressed F12) ,so that gives me a quick access to jump to my wanted file.Hope I clarified my question with this?

[vinod-a-ext]

@jrieken No need to add any packages.it's a inbuilt thing!

[kitsonk]

@jrieke, Compiler Extensibility is tracked by #6508 and has references to related tickets (including #6477 which was essentially a duplicate of this already raised by the vscode team 😄 )

[jrieken]

@vinod-a-ext Thanks, I learnt something. Let me see what our extension API allows you to do...

[jrieken]

@vinod-a-ext I gave it a try: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=jrieken.fuzzy-definitions.

It's an extension that hooks into go to definition and it uses a combination of symbol search and full text search tricks to find potential definitions.

[AllaKishore]

@jrieken ,
i installed ext install fuzzy-definitions but it's not working as you explained in the above screen shot.
Any OS limitation?

[jrieken]

shouldn't be the case. it's a bit quite and dirty and uses some full test searching tricks. it will surely have issue with large workspaces (hello node_modules folder). can you check the dev tools from within vscode and check if it contains useful info?

[vinod-a-ext]

Installed-->Tryed-->Resulted as Below But you are on right path Buddy

[jrieken]

Thanks for checking, I pushed an update which hopefully fixes that... Let's continue to track more issues here: https://github.com/jrieken/fuzzy-definitions/issues. I want to make this a thing 💪
