A VSCode extension that reformats TypeScript error messages into prettier, human-readable output with syntax highlighting. It supports TypeScript across many file types including .ts, .tsx, .astro, .svelte, .vue, and JSDoc-typed JavaScript.

Use cases

  • make TypeScript error messages readable
  • understand complex type errors in VSCode
  • syntax highlight types in compiler errors
  • navigate to type declarations from error messages
  • read TypeScript errors in plain English
  • see prettier errors in Vue, Svelte, and Astro files

When to choose

  • you work with TypeScript in VSCode and struggle with verbose type errors
  • your codebase has complex generics or deeply nested types
  • you want quick navigation to type declarations from errors

When to avoid

  • you don't use VSCode or a compatible editor like Cursor
  • you work in plain JavaScript without JSDoc types
  • you prefer raw compiler output for tooling reasons
