I'm working with typescript now, and I got this in my ~/.ctags file:

--langdef=typescript
--langmap=typescript:.ts
--regex-typescript=/^[ \t]*(export[ \t]+([a-z]+[ \t]+)?)?class[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_$]+)/\3/c,classes/
--regex-typescript=/^[ \t]*(declare[ \t]+)?namespace[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_$]+)/\2/c,modules/
--regex-typescript=/^[ \t]*(export[ \t]+)?module[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_$]+)/\2/n,modules/
--regex-typescript=/^[ \t]*(export[ \t]+)?(default[ \t]+)?(async[ \t]+)?function(\*)?[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_$]+)/\5/f,functions/
--regex-typescript=/^[ \t]*export[ \t]+(var|let|const)[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_$]+)/\2/v,variables/
--regex-typescript=/^[ \t]*(var|let|const)[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_$]+)[ \t]*=[ \t]*function[ \t]*[*]?[ \t]*\(\)/\2/v,varlambdas/
--regex-typescript=/^[ \t]*(export[ \t]+)?(public|protected|private)[ \t]+(static[ \t]+)?(abstract[ \t]+)?(((get|set)[ \t]+)|(async[ \t]+[*]*[ \t]*))?([a-zA-Z1-9_$]+)/\9/m,members/
--regex-typescript=/^[ \t]*(export[ \t]+)?interface[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_$]+)/\2/i,interfaces/
--regex-typescript=/^[ \t]*(export[ \t]+)?type[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_$]+)/\2/t,types/
--regex-typescript=/^[ \t]*(export[ \t]+)?enum[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_$]+)/\2/e,enums/
--regex-typescript=/^[ \t]*import[ \t]+([a-zA-Z0-9_$]+)/\1/I,imports/

and jumping to definition etc works just fine, but when i show my tags bar, nothing is there!

for reference, here is my vimrc file, and my ctags file

update

i added this to my .vimrc:

let g:tagbar_type_typescript = {                                                  
  \ 'ctagsbin' : 'tstags',                                                        
  \ 'ctagsargs' : '-f-',                                                           
  \ 'kinds': [                                                                     
    \ 'e:enums:0:1',                                                               
    \ 'f:function:0:1',                                                            
    \ 't:typealias:0:1',                                                           
    \ 'M:Module:0:1',                                                              
    \ 'I:import:0:1',                                                              
    \ 'i:interface:0:1',                                                           
    \ 'C:class:0:1',                                                               
    \ 'm:method:0:1',                                                              
    \ 'p:property:0:1',                                                            
    \ 'v:variable:0:1',                                                            
    \ 'c:const:0:1',                                                              
  \ ],                                                                            
  \ 'sort' : 0                                                                    
\ }   

I also found out that when i run tagbar, I get this error message:

enter image description here

Tagbar: could not execute ctags for /path/to/file.ts!

note: my same tagbar setup works perfectly fine for my php files:

  • Did you read :help tagbar-extend? There is also a section on Typescript in the tagbar wiki.

  • I only use tagbar for a short time, I think tagbar create tags in real time, maybe something wrong with your tag build command.

  • Looking at your g:tagbar_type_typescript, I guess you now need an executable called tstags.

The bug was happening b/c I didn't have tstags executive installed.. so i got it from here and built it like so:

git clone https://github.com/Perlence/tstags.git

npm install -g
$home/.nvm/versions/node/v8.1.0/bin/tstags -> $home/.nvm/versions/node/v8.1.0/lib/node_modules/tstags/bin/tstags.js
+ [email protected]
added 14 packages in 3.518s

$ which tstags
$home/.nvm/versions/node/v8.1.0/bin/tstags

and it worked like a charm!

  • it is perfectly fine and I believe it is even recommended to mark your own answer as accepted, if you happen to find it before you get one from somebody else Apr 6, 2019 at 12:20
