I work in IntelliJ all day when I'm working on the Java back-end, and thanks to the javascript features, I still have some (limited) code highlights for the Angular front-end as well. In IntelliJ I configured my '.ts' files to be handled as javascript files.

Here is the list of plugins I have installed:Īs you can see, there is a plugin that makes you use the keybindings of intellij. And it has great plugins, which allow me to use code completion and refacturing tools. It launches in less than 2 seconds on my system.

Secondly, I downloaded 'Visual Studio Code', (not to be confused with the full blown Visual Studio). something that integrates with IntelliJ as good as possibleĪt first I tried eclipse, and found powerful tools in their marketplace, which turned out to be commercial products and expired after 8 days.Because I still want to develop my back-end in Java, I wanted. The conclusion for me was that it was better to search for a good alternative. But it was zhengyue who pointed out I was using the wrong plugin. Personally I thought it was the decorator that messed things up. And I also had the same problems that you experienced. As zhengyue pointed out in comments, apparently you are using the 'Typ oScript' plugin, which is not a 'Typ escript' plugin.
