brightscript-language's Issues

Hover doesn't show syntax highlighting

When hovering over any variable in the editor, the hover looks like this:

It's supposed to look like this:

Customize brightscript.format.formatInteriorWhitespace

I would like to have the ability to customise things under brightscript.format.formatInteriorWhitespace For Eg: When this setting is turned on
[ 0, 104 ] syntax becomes [0, 104] which I would need to be able to turn off

Only Show Same Error One Time

Certain errors show up for each file they were included in. For example this issue: sjbarag/brs#177
If the promise library is included in multiple files it will give the Function parameter 'callback' is of invalid type 'function' error once for each file it's included in.

Can we export more things please?

I'd like to use brightscript-language in other preprocessor projects, and I assume other's would too.

Currently, not all the classes are exported, which limits extensibility as an npm package.

Validate the callFunc syntax.

Support parameter checking for callFunc. Until we have full object checking, I'm not quite sure how to catch this except to find every instance of whatever.callFunc, and make sure there are exactly 2 parameters....which may be the best option for now.

The issue is, callFunc("funcName") is a noop when you omit the second parameter.

Typing node references created with findNode

A good portion of code completion and knowing if a field actually exists on node is dependent on us being able to know what type of node is returned from findNode. We could start with a simple implementation that just checks the xml file for the current component as that will cover a very large portion of cases and expand from there.
