Make Visual Studio Code recognise module and require

Question

Visual Studio Code underlines require and module keywords in my .js files which I run with Node. How to prevent this from happening?

Answer 1

Since Visual studio code is written in TypeScript you need to download type definitions for nodejs. To do this click on the text (require/ module) which is underlined. Now it would show a yellow bulb.

Now click on that yellow bulb. A menu should open , select Download type definition for node.d.ts . Done visual studio code will download the type files for you.

Now a typings folder will display in your project folder , remember to add that in your .gitignore file to avoid unnecessary file commit to your git repo
