Offer an auto-import for unresolved shorthand-named object literal properties

[alikazemkhanloo]

suppose I have exported an object called Foo in foo.js, and in another file I want to use something like this:

export default configure({Foo})

autocomplete will not show Foo and of course, will not auto import from that file.
to use auto import, I have to write the code like this:

export default configure({Foo:Foo})

actually autocomplete shows Foo, But it doesn't auto import. it has abc icon.
could you support object shorthand in autocomplete?

Can you please share the definition of the configure function too?

[alikazemkhanloo]

I'm using createStackNavigator function from react navigation.

createStackNavigator({
  screenName,
},{
  intialRouteName:'screenName'
})

[mjbvz]

So your code looks something like:

export default createStackNavigator({
  screenName,
},{
  intialRouteName:'screenName'
})

Is that correct?

[alikazemkhanloo]

Yeap. And I want to auto-import screenName as I type for the first time. Now I should type something: screenName, for auto import to work.

Ok sorry, I realize now this is not related to the configre call at all. You can repo this with:

// a.ts
export const abc = 123;

// b.ts
({ abc });

The reason we don't offer suggestion here is because it looks like you are defining a new property. Two actionable things for this issue:

• Consider adding an add missing import quick fix for object shorthand values that are not import

• Investigate offering suggestions while typing property names (because it could be shorthand). I suspect this would end up being pretty annoying in practice

Hi, I have the same issue everytime I want to auto-import while using the shorthand syntax using VSCode.

Hello, I use shorthand-named object properties very often. What if there won't be any suggestions while typing property names, but you can hit cmd+. to see the suggestions? @mjbvz

Is this something you folks might consider adding at some point? I definitely run into this quite a bit.
