In my JavaScript (.js) files, I use a Visual Studio 2012 plugin for regions (here) like this:

//#region "My Region"

//Code here

//#endregion "My Region"

I would also like to have regions in TypeScript (.ts) files as well. Is this a possibility right now?

Answer 1

You can download Web Essentials 2012, it lets you use regions in TypeScript.

If you use, Visual Studio 2015, here is the freshest link. Web Essentials 2015.3

Answer 2

Visual Studio 2017 also has support for regions here.

Support via Web Essentials for older versions may be found here.

Answer 3

To request a new feature for TypeScript, you should start a discussion on Codeplex.

There are lots of opinions about regions being a bad thing - perhaps they are telling you that you have too much in a single file. TypeScript has a great way to load modules from many different files and it may be better to use that to separate your concerns.

Answer 4

You can follow the TypeScript GitHub issue here

TypeScript Regions #11073

Still no ETA on when this will be implemented, currently awaiting more feedback.
