How to locate definitions of variable type?

[zhengchenghang]

After indexing the TS project, I use a Java library for parsing, and I can obtain the local variable names and their corresponding type names. However, I want to further locate the type definition positions to retrieve the type definition information. How should I proceed? Because the documentation for local variable symbols only provides the type names, it does not specify the file path where the type definition is located.

If you have a SCIP symbol (https://github.com/sourcegraph/scip/blob/main/scip.proto#L147-L179) for the type name, you can search all the symbols in all documents in the index to see which has the symbol field that matches the symbol. Then you can search for a definition occurrence in that Document.

Closing this as implementing code nav itself is not exactly part of scip-typescript's set of functionality.
