Highlighter for TypeScript

[khongten001]

Hi,

Is there any chance to get Synedit highlighter for TypeScript?

Thanks!

As I tested, existing JavaScript highlighter works fine for TypeScript.
If you need Class support, Java highlighter is better. Both supports code folding.
Is there anything you miss?

Hi @JaFi-cz

Thank you for your tip!
About JavaScript highlighter: it does not contain import, export, async, await, interface,... keywords!
About Java highlighter: it does not contain async, await, declare,... keywords!

Both of them do not support multi-line string, string template,...

Sorry for my bad english!

Because i don't know TypeScript, I need someone who can help me with specification. From my experiences internet sources are not enough.
Are you able to give me:
list of TypeScript keywords
list of all missing features
some source code examples presenting missing features
we can make new TypeScript highlighter based on Java highlighter

Is list of keywords enough from this site?
