TypeScript Tool Window - Help

Errors

The tab lists the discrepancies in the code detected by the TypeScript Language Service. The list is updated dynamically as you change your code.

By default, the list contains only the errors from the file in the active editor tab and the full path to this file is displayed at the top. To show the errors across the entire project, press the Show project errors toggle button on the toolbar. Error messages are grouped by files in which they were detected.

To navigate to the code in question, double-click the corresponding error message or select it and choose Jump to Source on the context menu.

Compile Errors

The tab opens when you click and choose the compilation scope from the list:

The tab lists all the compilation errors detected in the chosen scope. This list is not affected by changes you make to your code and is updated only when you invoke compilation manually again.

Error messages are grouped by files in which they were detected. To navigate to the code in question, double-click the corresponding error message or select it and choose Jump to Source on the context menu.

Toolbar

Item	Tooltip and shortcut	Description
	Compile	Click this button and choose the range of files to compile. To compile the file in the active editor tab, choose the path to the file. To use the scope defined in a `tsconfig.json` file, choose the path to the required one. If you choose Compile All, by default, the compiler runs in the whole project. To change this behaviour, define another default scope in the Compile scope field on the TypeScript page.

	Restart TypeScript Service	Click this button to clear the tabs and run the TypeScript Language Service anew.
	Show project errors	By default, this toggle button is released and the tab shows the errors from the current TypeScript file. Press this toggle button to show the errors across the entire project.
	Close `Ctrl+Shift+F4`	Click this button to terminate the compiler and the TypeScript Language Service and close the tool window.
	Expand all `Ctrl+NumPad Plus` Collapse all `Ctrl+NumPad -`	Use these buttons to have all nodes expanded or collapsed.
