Is there any plugin available for typescript?

Hello, I want to use chevrotain to extend the ts syntax, but I can't find the chevrotain ts syntax file, I only see the js syntax file. Has anyone ever implemented the ts syntax file?

Hello @alamhubb

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript (ECMAScript).
And JavaScript is not a language which is simple to lex/parse with separate lexing and parsing steps.

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5519596/when-parsing-javascript-what-determines-the-meaning-of-a-slash
• Note the ECMAScript grammar example uses a 3rd party library to tokenize the input.

In other words, Chevrotain may not be the right too for the job of extending TypeScript grammar.
