Visual Studio Code Intellisense not working for Javascript

by

The above links are outdated. In older versions of VS Code you needed to reference your typings like /// <reference path> for somelibrary.d.ts.

With new version you need to initialize your project by creating jsconfig.json at the root of your project and add the following inside:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "es5",
        "module": "commonjs"
    },
    "exclude": [
      "node_modules"
    ]
}

Next install typing you need. You can use either tsd or typings. In your case you need to install tsd install node or typings install node --ambient. Make sure you have typings/tsd installed. Restart project.

Please refer to docs:

  1. Setup JS project – https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/javascript
  2. Node.js – https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/runtimes/nodejs
  3. Debugging – https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/debugging

Update:

Since version 1.7 there is no need to manually install typings, they should be downloaded automatically. Better JavaScript IntelliSense
