How to set intellisense for Angular.Js and Javascript in Visual Studio Code

Question

I am trying to use Angular.js in Visual Studio Code. But it's not working. In visual studio 2013 I am able to get the IntelliSense, but not in Visual Studio Code.

Answer 1

In Visual Studio Code, just install following npm package and will get intellisense for JavaScript files.

npm install --save-dev @types/angular

Answer 2

The answer provided here is no longer valid as tsd was deprecated. To install angular or any other Typescript Definition, please follow the next steps. Provided that you already have a package.json file and a jsconfig.json file:

1. First we will want to install typings globally: npm install typings --global;
2. Then, at root level on your directory run: typings install dt~angular --global --save.

You should now be able to have IntelliSense on your project.

ProTip! Include typings/ on you .gitignore file before running the second command, to prevent git from watching changes to the newly generated folder for typings. You can also do that for typings.json, but I do not recommend it. Up to you.

I got the information from the github repository readme file and from this post by Laurent Duveau.

Hope it helps.
