How to generate TypeScript UML class diagrams in VS Code?

For TypeScript:

• The ALM TypeScript editor includes this feature: https://github.com/alm-tools/alm/issues/84

  However it looks like it only creates diagram for a single class, not a full hierarchical view of the project with inheritance relationships.

• Tsviz is another promising project: https://github.com/joaompneves/tsviz

  

  It generates full project diagram. However it looks outdated and doesn't work with recent TypeScript versions. I'm working on an updated fork.

Using UML Diagram feature introduced by IntelliJ Editor by Jetbrains and it works very well with typescript.

Open the Diagram Popup

Go to Settings >>> Search for uml and find the keyboard shortcut for it.

OR

Right Click on a class name >>> Diagrams >>> Show Diagram Popup

Show class properties and methods:

Righ Click on the diagram popup >>> Show Categories >>> Methods or Properties

Tips

• You will find many options to show through the right click on the diagram popup.

• You can zoom on the diagram objects (If there are too much details) by holding the Alt key when hovering on them
