cannot use with typescript

[andykais]

When writing typescript, you must specify a typescript syntax highlighter. A popular one is Darkholme/yats.vim. It does not always work well with templated strings. Attached are a working and non-working tagged template string

I was mistaken, it turns out this was an issue with typescript syntax regardless of yats. Here is the same contents inside a javascript file:

and a typescript file:

repro info:
this was using a super small init.vim

call plug#begin('~/.config/nvim/plugged')
Plug 'cdata/vim-tagged-template'
call plug#end()

let g:taggedtemplate#tagSyntaxMap = {
  \ "sql": "sql" }

autocmd FileType javascript,typescript : call taggedtemplate#applySyntaxMap()

$ nvim --version
NVIM v0.4.2
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.0.5

ran like so:

nvim -u init.vim template.sql.ts

it appears to be an issue with the parent repository as well Quramy#15

so I was able to repro my issue with an even smaller configuration, without using this plugin. All it takes is the following snippet in ~/.config/nvim/after/syntax/typescript.vim

unlet b:current_syntax
syn include @SQL syntax/sql.vim
syn region sqlTemplate start=+sql`+
        \ end=+`+
        \ contains=@SQL

v --noplugin test.ts

// highlighted as sql
sql`SELECT * WHERE`
// not highlighted as sql
const x = sql`SELECT * WHERE`

I suppose that means its time to move this issue upstream to neovim.
