A much much better import for ECMAScript

A much much better import for ECMAScript.md

So if you have ever written in a ECMAScript language (JavaScript/TypeScript/...) you know that the autocomplete on the import is crap. Since you first say what you want and then say where from so the autocomplete has no idea what is available:

Visual Studio Code lets you define where in the snippets you want to fill step by step and that became a really good way to fix the problem. With the imp snippet you can do:

You can simply add this snippet to your JavaScript / TypeScript snippets in the Visual Studio Code and have fun :)

{
  	"pouyas-import": {
		"scope": "typescript,javascript",
		"prefix": "imp",
		"body": [
			"import { $0 }",
			"    from \"$1\""
		]
	}
}

Note

So @orta told me that:

From TypeScript 4.4 onwards, we autocomplete from after the import! e.g. import Parse should show import { ParseState } from “../state”

It’s one of my fav features

You can find it as :

Yet I think that the imp is much more easier to write than the original TypeScript snippet.

@orta mine is only different I guess in being written in two lines :)

I think you're missing the point, the autocomplete works after the import | and so that's all you need to type:

So the flow is better, even if the end code looks the same

Ooooooooooooooo. I had never noticed that!!!! cooooooooollll
