Fix Node.js imports types errors in VS Code
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
Had this error (more a warning) in a project:
VS Code complained Node.js types could not be found.
So I installed them:
npm install -D @types/node
Then added them to the compilerOptions in tsconfig.json
{
//...
"compilerOptions": {
"types": [
"node"
]
},
}
That still didn’t solve so I dropped node_modules:
rm -rf node_modules
rm -f package-lock.json
npm cache clean --force
npm install
Finally, restarting VS Code made them disappear (not sure if reinstalling modules had any effect, first try restarting VS Code after adding the types).
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
