Use eslint for typescript

[willparsons]

Is it possible to change the language server of typescript to eslint?

I tried making a user-level languages.toml to overwrite the typescript language to use eslint but it just acted as though no language server existed.

What does your hx --health typescript say? And logs?

[archseer]

eslint isn't actually a language server but a linter?

@archseer there is also an eslint language server. It is quite common nowadays to use it along with tsserver, which is what vscode does.

It allows code actions to fix eslint issues. It even can act as a super fast code formatter by reading your prettier rules.

It is available on npm: https://github.com/hrsh7th/vscode-langservers-extracted

Health is all good it can find eslint. The logs however are showing helix_lsp::transport [ERROR] err: <- StreamClosed

I think these are related: #1396, #2507

Neovim is using https://github.com/hrsh7th/vscode-langservers-extracted for their eslint language server. I'm going to try that same binary in helix

Hey I tried this approach with the multiple language servers branch and one roadblock that I had faced was that the vscode-langservers-extracted lsp required a property that wasn't provided by Helix.

helix_lsp::transport [ERROR] err <- "(node:13560) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Cannot read property 'workingDirectory' of null"

[jacksonludwig]

@space-shell I think you may want to mention that as a new issue?

Does anyone know if its possible to use eslint just as the linter?

Hi @jacksonludwig, could you explain how to configure the eslint language server in the languages.toml file?

[jacksonludwig]

@RilDev I am not sure, I can see there is an issue about it #3520, I've not set it up myself with helix.

Not a useful comment, but this is the only one thats preventing me from using this editor. Somehow I could not get prettier also working, but thats may be my fault.

same, are there any updates or a release date for this feature?

Trying to have the same behavior as neovim and vscode for eslint
vscode-eslint-language-server doesn't seem to work unless someone can point me in the right direction.

#2507 will make it happen. It's in the current milestone.
