Configuring an ES6 project using .d.ts files

[builden]

if i want use node.d.ts, i must add node.d.ts to files property, but files not support glob pattern, i have to add all of project files to this property

other question: just use require('path') can support IntelliSense, use import don't support

[egamma]

The recommendation is to have the typings folder with the .d.ts files as a peer of the jsconfig.json.

See also https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-samples

[builden]

the question is I have the typings folder and jsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES6",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "experimentalDecorators": true
  }
}

Did you try to put the typings folder in the same folder as the jsconfig.json. This is what I meant with 'peer' to jsconfig.json.

[builden]

my typings folder and jsconfig.json are in the project root dir

[egamma]

So it is the same layout as in the sample layout. Does the sample https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-samples work for you? If not what is the difference between your code and the sample?
Can you check whether this is related to #703

[builden]

the sample project have the same problem
win8 + 64

[builden]

I just test the samples project
MAC OSX also has this problem

[egamma]

@builden cannot reproduce.

git clone the samples
npm install
replace the jsconfig.json with the one you have provided above

and I'm getting Intellisense.

[builden]

I already knew why i have this problem, because I had set global setting.json like this

I just don't want to typings dir show at the files tree, and i did not set search.exclude property.

another question: IntelliSense not support ES6 import, like this:

Thank you for your reply

import path from 'path'

isn't well formed ES6 code. Those two options you have

1. import * as path from 'path' to import all
2. import {join} from 'path' to import only certain symbols

[builden]

Tks, those two options work well

but I have see many other open source use this style,
such as:
import React from 'react'

I never find import * as React from 'react'

[jrieken]

For sure a pattern that established before ES6 was finalised. Use this as reference: http://www.2ality.com/2014/09/es6-modules-final.html

[builden]

get it, tks for you reply
