Description

I tried to use a typescript feature that resulted in an error. Upon further research I realized its because this package uses typescript 3.1.6 and the feature I want got added in typescript 3.4.

Can we upgrade the version of typescript this package uses?

Steps to Reproduce

1. create a file with a typescript const. Something like

const foo = { bar: 'baz', hello: 'world' } as const 

2. Notice an error pops up saying Cannot find name "const"

Expected behavior:
No error should occur. This is now a standard feature of typescript.

Actual behavior:
An error is occuring on perfectly valid typescript

Reproduces how often:
100% of the time

Versions

Atom 1.39.1 on macOS
ide-typescript 0.9.1

As a temporary workaround you can install a newer version of the typescript language server globally (npm install -g typescript) and go into the extension settings for ide-typescript and change the language server path to where tsserver was installed. You can find where it is installed by typing in a terminal window which tsserver (which was /usr/bin/tsserver for me on Linux).

Do you happen to know if this adds support for BigInt syntax such as 345689754387345678n?

It looks like Typescript 3.2 added support for BigInt, upgrading the tsserver binary used to 3.2 or newer should add support for it.
