Hiding .js and .map files in VS Code while

Question

What kind of settings can I use in Visual Studio Code to hide certain .js and .map files ?

Answer 1

You probably don't want to blindly hide all .js and .map files, only the ones that are generated from an associated .ts file like you show in your screenshot.

To conditionally hide them, you're going to want to do this instead:

{
  "files.exclude": {
    "**/.git": true,
    "**/.DS_Store": true,
    "**/*.js.map": true,
    "**/*.js": {"when": "$(basename).ts"}
  }
}
