VS Code extension recommendations for projects

Question

I would like to enforce TS Linting on projects opened with Visual Studio Code. The docs say you can provide a list of extension recommendations for workspaces, but what if we don't use workspaces and we just open project folders? Is there a way to prompt users who open a project to install TS Lint?

I've tried creating .vscode\extensions.json with the following:

{
    "recommendations": [
        "eg2.tslint",
    ]
}

Any feedback would be helpful.

Once you create a .vscode\extensions.json, vscode users should see this notification when they open the workspace/folder:

This should work both if the project is opened as a folder or as a workspace
