vtsls is a Language Server Protocol wrapper around the TypeScript language features extension bundled with VSCode, exposing its full feature set to any LSP-capable editor. It applies minimal patches to the upstream extension so it can track VSCode updates with low maintenance overhead.

Use cases

• use typescript language server in neovim
• get vscode-level typescript intellisense outside vscode
• run tsserver features over LSP
• set up typescript autocomplete and diagnostics in vim
• replace typescript-language-server with a vscode-backed one
• organize and sort imports from any editor

When to choose

• you want VSCode's TypeScript editing features in a non-VSCode editor via LSP
• you need features like go-to-source-definition or find-all-file-references that other TS language servers lack
• you want a server that closely tracks upstream TypeScript/VSCode updates

When to avoid

• you need guaranteed robustness for critical production tooling, as the wrapped extension's behavior isn't fully controlled
• you prefer a from-scratch, independently maintained language server
• you don't use an LSP-capable editor or Node.js >= 16
