LSP - dot completion

[zolomatok]

A small (?) request for the VSC extension.
I would love for method discovery to be as great as in a plain TS file.

In typescript, if I type a dot after an object, it shows me its properties and methods. It also shows the documentation.

In civet, I get neither at the moment. Code completion does work if you know what you're looking for, but you don't get documentation in any case.

(The video tests with imported files, but the behaviour is the same for locally defined objects)

I'm running the VSC plugin version 0.3.24.

tsconfig

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "module": "es2022"
        "target": "es2022"
        "moduleResolution": "bundler"
    }
}

We've been discussing the . feature possibility recently. My first attempt (#1560) hasn't worked so far.

I hadn't noticed the documentation issue. This was actually a TODO in the LSP source code, which will mostly be resolved by #1561. Thanks for suggesting looking into this!

Update: You can give the VSCode extension v0.3.25 a try; it should give documentation, at least in most cases. (In others, it gives an error. Still some tracking down to do.)

Oooh, the documentation does work now, great work @edemaine, thank you!

Super nice to hear the dot completion is being worked on as well. 🙏
