How can I enable a Node.js Intellisense in VS Code?

Question

How can I enable a Node.js Intellisense in VS Code?

For instance, I am aware of a constant in Node.js __dirname, but when I try to type __dir in VS Code I am not getting any suggestions, while I would expect to see the __dirname as a suggestion.

What can I do about it? Maybe I should install a plugin?

Here is the version of VS Code I am using:

Version: 1.33.1 (user setup)
Commit: 51b0b28134d51361cf996d2f0a1c698247aeabd8
Date: 2019-04-11T08:27:14.102Z
Electron: 3.1.6
Chrome: 66.0.3359.181
Node.js: 10.2.0
V8: 6.6.346.32
OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.17763

Thank you.

There was some time while a back that :

npm install node;

in the project root folder was enough for vscode (at least for my case) to give me intellisense for node . Now I need to do also that :

npm install @types/node;

again in the project folder . Also the same solution seems to be suggested from vs code docs .
