Differences to the native TypeScript server

[kurtextrem]

May I ask what advantages you gain by using this extension?

It uses the same underlying language service APIs, but through a different protocol (the newer LSP instead of the older tsserver protocol). This is mostly to test the TS langserver used by other editors that only support LSP. Differences are very minor, for example hovers are displayed a bit differently

When VS Code gets support for it, it will also support streaming.

Cool, thank you. Is there anything you need to do after installing (e.g. disabling the native server somehow)?

[felixfbecker]

Iirc you can disable the integrated TS support by setting "typescript.tsdk": "/dev/null"

But I found that it would appear with duplicate code hints

You can disable integrated TS now too: https://twitter.com/sandy081/status/965891223813869569
