TypeScript Contribution Diary: Improved Syntax Error for Enum Member Colons

Read Original

This technical article details the author's contribution to the TypeScript compiler, specifically improving the syntax error message when a colon is incorrectly used instead of an equals sign for enum member values. It walks through the process of investigating the parser code, debugging the error reporting mechanism, and ultimately resolving a long-standing issue (#838) to provide a more helpful diagnostic.
