Angular Language Service

The Angular Language Service provides code editors with a way to get completions, errors, hints, and navigation inside Angular templates. It works with external templates in separate HTML files, and also with in-line templates.

Configuring compiler options for the Angular Language Service

To enable the latest Language Service features, set the strictTemplates option in tsconfig.json by setting strictTemplates to true, as shown in the following example:

"angularCompilerOptions": { "strictTemplates": true }

For more information, see the Angular compiler options guide.

Features

Your editor autodetects that you are opening an Angular file. It then uses the Angular Language Service to read your tsconfig.json file, find all the templates you have in your application, and then provide language services for any templates that you open.

Language services include:

  • Completions lists
  • AOT Diagnostic messages
  • Quick info
  • Go to definition

Autocompletion

Autocompletion can speed up your development time by providing you with contextual possibilities and hints as you type. This example shows autocomplete in an interpolation. As you type it out, you can hit tab to complete.

There are also completions within elements. Any elements you have as a component selector will show up in the completion list.

Error checking

The Angular Language Service can forewarn you of mistakes in your code. In this example, Angular doesn't know what orders is or where it comes from.

Quick info and navigation

The quick-info feature allows you to hover to see where components, directives, modules, and so on come from. You can then click "Go to definition" or press F12 to go directly to the definition.

Angular Language Service in your editor

Angular Language Service is currently available as an extension for Visual Studio Code, WebStorm, Sublime Text and Eclipse IDE.

Visual Studio Code

In Visual Studio Code, install the extension from the Extensions: Marketplace. You can open the marketplace from the editor using the Extensions icon on the left menu pane, or use VS Quick Open (⌘+P on Mac, CTRL+P on Windows) and type "? ext". In the marketplace, search for Angular Language Service extension, and click the Install button.

The Visual Studio Code integration with the Angular language service is maintained and distributed by the Angular team.

Visual Studio

In Visual Studio, install the extension from the Extensions: Marketplace. You can open the marketplace from the editor selecting Extensions on the top menu pane, and then selecting Manage Extensions. In the marketplace, search for Angular Language Service extension, and click the Install button.

The Visual Studio integration with the Angular language service is maintained and distributed by Microsoft with help from the Angular team. Check out the project here

WebStorm

In WebStorm, enable the plugin Angular and AngularJS.

Since WebStorm 2019.1, the @angular/language-service is not required anymore and should be removed from your package.json.

Sublime Text

In Sublime Text, the Language Service supports only in-line templates when installed as a plug-in. You need a custom Sublime plug-in (or modifications to the current plug-in) for completions in HTML files.

To use the Language Service for in-line templates, you must first add an extension to allow TypeScript, then install the Angular Language Service plug-in. Starting with TypeScript 2.3, TypeScript has a plug-in model that the language service can use.

  1. Install the latest version of TypeScript in a local node_modules directory:
npm install --save-dev typescript
  1. Install the Angular Language Service package in the same location:
npm install --save-dev @angular/language-service
  1. Once the package is installed, add the following to the "compilerOptions" section of your project's tsconfig.json.
"plugins": [ {"name": "@angular/language-service"} ]
  1. In your editor's user preferences (Cmd+, or Ctrl+,), add the following:
"typescript-tsdk": "/node_modules/typescript/lib"

This allows the Angular Language Service to provide diagnostics and completions in .ts files.

Eclipse IDE

Either directly install the "Eclipse IDE for Web and JavaScript developers" package which comes with the Angular Language Server included, or from other Eclipse IDE packages, use Help > Eclipse Marketplace to find and install Eclipse Wild Web Developer.

How the Language Service works

When you use an editor with a language service, the editor starts a separate language-service process and communicates with it through an RPC, using the Language Server Protocol. When you type into the editor, the editor sends information to the language-service process to track the state of your project.

When you trigger a completion list within a template, the editor first parses the template into an HTML abstract syntax tree (AST). The Angular compiler interprets that tree to determine the context: which module the template is part of, the current scope, the component selector, and where your cursor is in the template AST. It can then determine the symbols that could potentially be at that position..

It's a little more involved if you are in an interpolation. If you have an interpolation of {{data.---}} inside a div and need the completion list after data.---, the compiler can't use the HTML AST to find the answer. The HTML AST can only tell the compiler that there is some text with the characters "{{data.---}}". That's when the template parser produces an expression AST, which resides within the template AST. The Angular Language Services then looks at data.--- within its context, asks the TypeScript Language Service what the members of data are, and returns the list of possibilities.
