JQuery intellisense in Visual Studio Code

Latest (as of April 2017) suggested approach to do this is to use automatic type acquisition by adding jsconfig.json file in the root of your project with the following contents:

{ "typeAcquisition": {     "include": [         "jquery"     ]   }}

Then, in your editor you will see:

For more information, check official documentation

If you are already familiar with npm (if not you should)

I suggest you install typings which is a typeScript definition manager that work very well with Visual Studio Code (Tested on Mac and Windows)

Simply run

npm install typings --global

Of course you must need to have npm already installed on your local pc/mac.

After that, move to the command line (terminal or cmd) and run

typings install dt~jquery --global --save

It will create the typings directory and all required files (not need to restart Visual Studio Code) and you are ready to go!.

If you want to know more about typings just follow the typings link above.

step 1 : make sure you have the definition files in your projectif you got npm installed then run

npm i --save-dev @types/jquery

it will install jQuery definition file in node_modules/@types/jqueryelse :download it. and put it in any folder then ,step:2 create a jsconfig.json file

$ touch jsconfig.json

and put this code in the jsconfig.json file

{    "include": [        "./node_modules/@types"    ],    "exclude": [        "./node_modules"    ]}

that's it .

**

note : i am excluding ./node_modules in case you have it in your project if not then just include the jquery.d.ts file .

thanks
