TypeScript TwoSlash

A markup format for TypeScript code, ideal for creating self-contained code samples which let the TypeScript compiler do the extra leg-work. Inspired
by the fourslash test system.

Used as a pre-parser before showing code samples inside the TypeScript website and to create a standard way for us
to create examples for bugs on the compiler's issue tracker.

You can preview twoslash on the TypeScript website here: https://www.typescriptlang.org/dev/twoslash/

It might be easier to show instead of telling, here is an example of code from the TypeScript handbook. We'll use
twoslash to let the compiler handle error messaging and provide rich highlight info.

##### Before

> Tuple types allow you to express an array with a fixed number of elements whose types are known, but need not be the same. For example, you may want to represent a value as a pair of a string and a number:

``ts 
// Declare a tuple type
let x: [string, number];
// Initialize it
x = ["hello", 10]; // OK
// Initialize it incorrectly
x = [10, "hello"]; // Error
`

> When accessing an element with a known index, the correct type is retrieved:

`ts
console.log(x[0].substring(1)) // OK
console.log(x[1].substring(1)) // Error, 'number' does not have 'substring'
`

##### After

> Tuple types allow you to express an array with a fixed number of elements whose types are known, but need not be the same. For example, you may want to represent a value as a pair of a string and a number:

`ts twoslash
// @errors: 2322
// Declare a tuple type
let x: [string, number];
// Initialize it
x = ["hello", 10];
// Initialize it incorrectly
x = [10, "hello"];
`

> When accessing an element with a known index, the correct type is retrieved:

`ts
// @errors: 2339
let x: [string, number];
x = ["hello", 10]; // OK
/// ---cut---
console.log(x[0].substring(1));
console.log(x[1].substring(1));
`

See it in action on the site.

##### What Changed?

Switching this code sample to use twoslash has a few upsides:

- The error messages in both are provided by the TypeScript compiler, and so we don't need to write either "OK" or "Error"
- We explicitly mark what errors are expected in the code sample, if it doesn't occur twoslash throws
- The second example is a complete example to the compiler. This makes it available to do identifier lookups and real compiler errors, but the user only sees the last two lines.

On the flip side, it's a bit more verbose because every twoslash example is a unique compiler environment - so you need to include all the dependent code in each example.

$3

The Twoslash markup language helps with:

- Enforcing accurate errors from a TypeScript code sample, and leaving the messaging to the compiler
- Splitting a code sample to hide distracting code
- Declaratively highlighting symbols in your code sample
- Replacing code with the results of transpilation to different files, or ancillary files like .d.ts or .map files
- Handle multi-file imports in a single code sample
- Creating a playground link for the code

$3

- Lines which have // prettier-ignore are stripped

$3

The twoslash markup API lives inside your code samples code as comments, which can do special commands. There are the following commands:

`ts
/* Available inline flags which are not compiler flags /
export interface ExampleOptions {
/* Lets the sample suppress all error diagnostics /
noErrors: boolean
/* An array of TS error codes, which you write as space separated - this is so the tool can know about unexpected errors /
errors: number[]
/* Shows the JS equivalent of the TypeScript code instead /
showEmit: boolean
/**
* Must be used with showEmit, lets you choose the file to present instead of the source - defaults to index.js which
* means when you just use showEmit above it shows the transpiled JS.
*/
showEmittedFile: string
/* Whether to disable the pre-cache of LSP calls for interesting identifiers, defaults to false /
noStaticSemanticInfo: boolean
/* Declare that the TypeScript program should edit the fsMap which is passed in, this is only useful for tool-makers, defaults to false /
emit: boolean
/* Declare that you don't need to validate that errors have corresponding annotations, defaults to false /
noErrorValidation: boolean
}
`

In addition to this set, you can use @filename which allow for exporting between files.

Finally you can set any tsconfig compiler flag using this syntax, which you can see in some of the examples below.

The API is one main exported function:

`ts
/**
* Runs the checker against a TypeScript/JavaScript code sample returning potentially
* difference code, and a set of annotations around how it works.
*
* @param code The twoslash markup'd code
* @param extension For example: "ts", "tsx", "typescript", "javascript" or "js".
* @param options Additional options for twoslash
*/
export function twoslasher(code: string, extension: string, options: TwoSlashOptions = {}): TwoSlashReturn
`

Which takes the options:

`ts
export interface TwoSlashOptions {
/* Allows setting any of the handbook options from outside the function, useful if you don't want LSP identifiers /
defaultOptions?: Partial
/* Allows setting any of the compiler options from outside the function /
defaultCompilerOptions?: CompilerOptions
/* Allows applying custom transformers to the emit result, only useful with the showEmit output /
customTransformers?: CustomTransformers
/* An optional copy of the TypeScript import, if missing it will be require'd. /
tsModule?: TS
/* Absolute path to the directory to look up built-in TypeScript .d.ts files. /
tsLibDirectory?: string
/* An optional copy of the lz-string import, if missing it will be require'd. /
lzstringModule?: LZ
/**
* An optional Map object which is passed into @typescript/vfs - if you are using twoslash on the
web then you'll need this to set up your lib .d.ts files. If missing, it will use your fs.
*/
fsMap?: Map
/* The cwd for the folder which the virtual fs should be overlaid on top of when using local fs, opts to process.cwd() if not present /
vfsRoot?: string
/* A set of known // @[tags] tags to extract and not treat as a comment /
customTags?: string[]
}
`

And returns:

`ts
export interface TwoSlashReturn {
