TypeScript symbols is empty inside closure (like jQuery plugins) #8218
Description
From Jari Pennanen (@Ciantic) on January 2, 2016 8:38
I tried developing basic jQuery plugin with TS, looks like the symbols list is totally empty if I use following code:
/// <reference path="./typings/tsd.d.ts" />
(function ($: JQueryStatic) {
interface Anything {
something : string
}
function func() {
}
})(jQuery);
I think it should recgonize the whole file spanning closure and not let it ruin the symbols listing.

I also think this is annoying. Symbols view only shows symbols in the global scope, also for Javasript. If you use class expressions for Angular, like
.controller('MyController', class MyController { ... })you will never get any methods of that class show up in the symbol view.jrieken commentedon Apr 20, 2016

This is an issue with TypeScript. For JavaScript this actually works a lot better then for TypeScript despite using the same language service...

Bill Ticehurst (@billti) had a fix for the JS case. we need to unify the two implementations. #7523 tracks some of this work.

Andy (Andrewkraft) (@Andy-MS) would this be handled by your refactor?

i think that is a better place to be in. if that turned out to be another source of complains, may be we should allow all function declarations regardless if they are containers or not.
