## What it is
A TypeScript language plugin for the Atom editor providing autocomplete, live error analysis, type info on hover, and compile-on-save via tsconfig.json support. The project was officially unmaintained as of May 2022 and Atom itself was sunset in December 2022.

## Use cases

- live error checking for typescript files
- compile typescript on save
- tsconfig.json project support in atom
- type information on hover

## When to choose
- you are still working in the legacy Atom editor and need TypeScript support
