Autocomplete NS

[sbliven]

Is there a way to add the NS type to vscode so that autocompletion works like it does in the game? The ideal would be if this were done automatically by the extension.

I'm aware of the workaround here, which consists of

• Saving NetscriptDefinitions.d.ts as index.d.ts in each workspace
• Annotating all functions with type import(".").NS

This workaround isn't great because

1. It's not documented well or easy to use
2. It clashes with the NS type used in the in-game editor, so tab completion only works in one place at a time.

you can also do import { NS } from "../bitburner/src/ScriptEditor/NetscriptDefinitions";, changing the import path to whatever's correct for your chosen setup. In the example, my bitburner repo has the whole bitburner repo cloned as a submodule, but there are other ways to do it besides what you've mentioned, I think.

here's my Typescript implementation if it helps you brother https://github.com/wallind/bitburner-scripts

A workaround I've used:
Step 1: Add NetscriptDefinitions.d.ts to the project.
Step 2: Replace export directives in that file with declare directives in NetscriptDefinitions.d.ts.
Step 3: Include /// <reference path="NetscriptDefinitions.d.ts" /> at the top of your js files.

Then you can use the NS type as you would in the in-game editor.

the solution proposed by @DanielWeiner works like a charm! saved my day
