TypeSkip

Focus on your runtime code by hiding TypeScript types.

An example of how the code looks with the extension enabled

TypeSkip lets you hide all type-specific code (type aliases, interfaces, type annotations...) in place when editing .ts and .tsx files in Visual Studio Code.

Some projects (like libraries) often combine complex types with complex runtime logic, making code hard to understand. With TypeSkip, you can temporarily forget about types and focus on your runtime code instead.

Installation

TypeSkip is available in the Extensions Marketplace.

It can also be installed by launching Quick Open (Ctrl+P or ⌘P) from VS Code, pasting the following command, and pressing enter.

ext install diola.typeskip

Features

The opacity of the hidden code can be customized (typeskip.opacity setting).

A demo of the opacity setting

Use commands to hide (and show) TypeScript types in the current workspace or globally.

In the status bar, you can see the current state, toggle it, and quickly adjust the opacity.

Acknowledgements

TypeSkip is inspired and powered by ts-blank-space, a type-stripping TypeScript compiler. It replaces type-specific code with spaces ("blank space"), leaving valid JavaScript code behind.

Under the hood, this extension compares the original code with the "blanked" code to find the ranges to hide.
