Visual Studio Code and JS IntelliSense

• You need to have jsconfig.json in your project root directory

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es2015",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true
  },
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules"
  ]
}

• Install typings as global npm module

npm install -g typings

• Install Typing installer VSCode extension.
• Install typings for libraries you use - node, jQuery, vue, ...

Caveats

• To be able to navigate (cmd + click) ES6 style modules you need to specify it as target of compilerOptions inside jsconfig.json file.
• use allowSyntheticDefaultImports: true when you use ES6 modules in your JS and you want to have TypeScript typings
