Description
Feature request
Go to definition for TypeScript literal strings.
Example
Given the below code, I would really like to be able to jump to the definition of the 'foo':
const obj = {
foo: 'bar' as const,
hello: 'world' as const,
}
function get<T, K extends keyof T>(obj: T, path: K): T[K] {
return obj[path]
}
const val = get(obj, 'foo')
// 👆👆👆 Is there a way of make jump to definition work here?
// I really want to CMD+click `'foo'` and jump to line #2
Link to TypeScript playground.
WebStorm Demo of the same code
In WebStorm, it actually works how I wish that VSCode worked, here's a video:
