When the user wants to rename a symbol in the ts file VSCode
will ask the rename providers for the answer in turn. If the
first extension returns the result, the VSCode will break the
loop and apply the result. If the first extension cannot rename
the symbol, VSCode will ask the second extension in the
list (built-in TS/JS extension, Angular LS extension, etc.).
In other words, VSCode takes the result from only one rename provider
and the order depends on registration timing, scoring.
Because the built-in ts extension and Angular extension have the
same high score, if the built-in ts extension is the
first(depends on the time the extension was registered), the result
will be provided by the built-in extension. We want Angular to
provide it, so this plugin will delegate rename requests and reject
the request for the built-in ts server.
The Angular LS only provides the rename info when working within
an Angular project. If we cannot locate Angular sources in the
project files, the built-in extension should provide the rename info.
This plugin will apply to the built-in TS/JS extension and delegate
rename requests to the Angular LS. It provides the rename info only
when it is an Angular project. Otherwise, it will return info by the
default built-in ts server rename provider.
