Default Typescript React-Native project gives 200 errors

Question

I have created a react native project with the following command. VS Code gives about 200 ts errors in the Problems section but I am able to compile with tsc.

npx react-native init MyApp --template react-native-template-typescript

Any idea why VS Code is doing like this? Thanks

Answer 1

do you have eslint installed and enabled?

try npm remove -g eslint and also check your extensions

I am suspecting that you have an incompatible linting extension.

another reason might be vscode identifies *.ts as typescript files and *.tsx as typescript react files. when you open file check bottom right corner of the vscode to see how the file is interpreted.
