I have a large object (pvtMsg). vs-code shows a popup with the type when you hover over it. I would like to copy the entire type and paste it in another file. Then I would import that file in places where I want to use that type.
The text is selectable, but the type is not complete, when I copy the text with ctrl + a the text ... 19 more ... is copied. Is there a setting in vs-code to increase the maximum length before truncation?
This issue also occures with javascript or .js files.
It might sound unintuitive, but the noErrorTruncation compiler option does not only control error messages, but also toggles truncation of type hints. If you set it to true in your tsconfig.json (or pass the equivalent CLI option), you will notice that the hints are no longer truncated.
For example, let's make an object Test with 35 properties. Here's how the hint looks like with noErrorTruncation: false:
And here is how it looks like with noErrorTruncation: true:
Note that there is a hard-coded absoluteMaximumLength cutoff (calculated from defaultMaximumTruncationLength to a total of 1600 chars ATTOW) at which point the display will be truncated regardless of whether the option is enabled or not.
