Language server with nvim: should typed Props be visible in hover definition?

[travisby]

Hello!

As always with my nvim setup, I can never tell if I'm using it wrong, or if the LS doesn't have a feature. I'm pretty bad at configuring things 😅

---

Overall, my hover definition for astro components leaves something to be desired:

and I'm not sure if that's a me problem, or a LS problem

---

I have a layout with:

---
interface Props {
	// `title` of a page is the HTML title attribute, and is more specific than `heading`
	title: string;
	// `description` is the HTML meta description attribute
	description: string;
	// `heading` is the <h1> of the page and usually less descriptive than `title`
	heading?: string;
}

const { title, description, heading } = Astro.props;
---

And use it with:

---
import Layout from "@layouts/default.astro";
---

<Layout title="Hello, World!" description="Home Page">
	<h1>Hello, world!</h1>
</Layout>

Hovering over the Layout element, I see:

(alias) function Layout(_props: Props): any
import Layout

(and my tsconfig.json is:

{
	"extends": "astro/tsconfigs/strictest",
	"compilerOptions": {
		"verbatimModuleSyntax": true,
		"baseUrl": ".",
		"paths": {
			"@layouts/*": ["src/layouts/*"]
		}
	}
}

)

https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/typescript/#component-props suggests that more advanced typing comes from the VSCode plugin, but I'm not sure if that's just from the LS or what.

---

Do I have something wrong, and I should see my specific props in the hover definition? Or is this what the LS offers?

What's interesting, if I ask autocomplete what the LS knows, I do see my props, so the LS does seem to know the exist (although it doesn't include the comment/docstring?)

---

Appreciate any lessons learned here! I didn't want to file an issue since I assume it's my fault.

At this time it is intended that it just shows Props, yes!

Your comments are not JSDoc, that's why they don't show (you need /** style comments)

Awesome! Appreciate the explanation on both acocunts!
