Tone down javascript intellisense

Question

I find the default intellisense suggestions for Javascript irrelevant. Too many native browser functions I will never use.

Is there any way to turn off/limit intellisense? e.g. hide browser methods like the one in the link above.

Answer 1

To disable the default set of globals, create a jsconfig.json file at the root of your project with the content:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "lib": ["es6"]
  }
}

This prevents the TypeScript service that VSCode uses for JavaScript IntelliSense from automatically including information about the DOM api.

You can read about all the avalible lib configuration options in the TypeScript documentation.
