> If you are unlucky enough to work with TypeScript and stuck in Vim mode (using Neovim tho), then at least have a better formatted TypeScript errors. https://gifyu.com/image/Sipos https://gifyu.com/image/Sipox
Click to see demo images
Will be added when possible..
- Hihglights variables in error messages
- Uses your current Theme colors, no funky stuff of my own
- Does its best to format JS objects (if they are or TS types mentioned in the error)
If you want JS Objects in error messages to be formatted, ensure you have Prettier installed and available in PATH.
npm install -g prettier
I haven't used any other package managers than folke/lazy.nvim, so not sure exactly how to install it via others, because you need to specify dependency.
| Package manager | Snippet |
|---|---|
-- stable version
-- You need to have "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim" as Dependency
use {
"OlegGulevskyy/better-ts-errors.nvim",
requires = {
{'MunifTanjim/nui.nvim'}
}
} |
|
-- No idea how to set dependency in vim-plug, pls let me know if you use it
-- You need to have "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim" as Dependency
Plug "better-ts-errors.nvim", { "tag": "*" } |
|
-- stable version
return {
"OlegGulevskyy/better-ts-errors.nvim",
dependencies = { "MunifTanjim/nui.nvim" },
config = {
keymaps = {
toggle = '<leader>dd', -- default '<leader>dd'
go_to_definition = '<leader>dx' -- default '<leader>dx'
}
}
} |
Simple thing at the moment - set your keymap via config options keymap and use it to toggle pretty TS error message
The configuration list sometimes become cumbersome, making it folded by default reduce the noise of the README file.
Click to unfold the full list of options with their default values
Note: The options are also available in Neovim by calling
:h better-ts-errors.options
require("better-ts-errors").setup({
keymaps = {
toggle = '<leader>dd', -- Toggling keymap
go_to_definition = '<leader>dx' -- Go to problematic type from popup window
}
})PRs and issues are always welcome. Make sure to provide as much context as possible when opening one.
I am forced to work with TypeScript, and at times it can be quite alright, but one thing that sucks from it is its error messages.
This small plugin is inspired by pretty-ts-errors for VSCode users.

So, I'd like to have some niceties in Neovim also, that's it for Motivations section.
- I suck at Lua. It's my very first Lua project. I have no idea about Lua's conventions, best practices etc. I am happy to learn and adjust, if you'd be kind enough to point out, in a friendly manner.
- I suck at Neovim plugins. I used a plugins boilerplate (which you can find here - https://github.com/shortcuts/neovim-plugin-boilerplate) to create this plugin. Again, happy to learn and improve, if you are kind enough to point out mistakes. Better yet - suggest improvements in a form of a PR, that I am more than happy to accept.
- In general I am a mediocre programmer, so any weird logic bits you find (and I know there is some and some more), please do let me know, with a way to improve it. I am very open to it.
- I just needed something working and I didn't plan to open source it as a plugin.
- I plan to add features
- Go to definition of types mentioned in the actual error
- More robust highlighting system (highlight different variable types in different colors)
- Better parsing (show an actual problem of huge nested TS errors on top as first line as these are usually where the issue is really coming from)
- Better testing (I haven't thoroughly tested it at all)
