intellisense puts most likely choice last #130778
Description
Issue Type: Bug
I am creating a variable and assigning it value. The value is an instance of a TS interface. Something like this:
interface a {
id: number,
place: string
}then in a function, I try to create a variable of that type:
const person : a = {
id: 1,
place: 'Canada'
};when I type the p of place, itellisense gives me a bunch of stupid suggestions for the context and the only appropriate suggestion is the last one in the list. Why is that?
For instance, in a real example I have, the interface I am filling out has a member called PeriodId and I have not yet added PeriodId. I type p and this is what comes up:
- private method
- prop
- public method
- PeriodId
The first three are bad suggestions because they don't even make sense in this context. I am inside the definition of an object literal defining a const varaible inside a class function. creating a public or private method or a prop don't make any sense. Surely intellisense should be more intelligent than that.
To make matters even worse, if I just type:
const v: a = {
and I bring up intellisense, it gives me every option under the sun, including all of the members of interface a, but it puts the members of interface a at the end of the list. Thank goodness the menu lets me scroll up to wrap around to the bottom of the list.
These interface members should be the first items in the list. If they were first, I wouldn't care what other suggestions intellisense gave, no matter how inappropriate they are for the context.
