✅ Viability Checklist

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, new syntax sugar for JS, etc.)
• This isn't a request to add a new utility type: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/No-New-Utility-Types

⭐ Suggestion

When using typescript interface instead of type:

export interface User {
     id?: string | undefined;
     username: string;
}

the props are shown in the editor's Outline view.

However, when I have a typical typescript type:

 export type User = {
     id?: string | undefined;
     username: string;
}

the props are not shown in the Outline view (e.g. VSCode or Eclipse Editor Outline View)

Please show the props in the Ouline view also for typescript type.

ソースファイルもテストも指定されていません。まず tsserver の document-symbol または outline の処理を調査し、issue にある interface と type の例に対して生成されるシンボルを比較してください。type alias のプロパティが interface のプロパティと同様にエディターの Outline ビューに表示されれば完了です。
