Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by locating the Playground vNext implementation and reviewing the requested MVP capabilities. Confirm which items remain in scope and define completion criteria for the selected capability before making changes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Things we've found useful that should continue to work, very roughly in priority order:

  • "Obvious" stuff: completion, quick info, error squiggles, error list
  • "Share code" links should be backward compatible
  • Configuration of commonly-used options, preferably via tsconfig
  • Version selection
  • See JS and .d.ts output

Things that would be nice, but likely below a MVP cutline if push comes to shove:

  • Automatic type acquisition
  • Multiple files support

Feel free to post other things you'd like to see.
