When working with NodeJS in VS Code, I've had issues where the auto-import function of VS Code wouldn't include the .js
extension as required by the Node module system.
For example:
// As required by Node
import { foo } from './foo.js'
// As added by VS Code
import { foo } from './foo'
When left as specified by VS Code, I get the following error:
node:internal/process/esm_loader:91
internalBinding('errors').triggerUncaughtException(
^
Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module '\mbot\util\strings' imported from \mbot\index.js
Did you mean to import ../util/strings.js?

CodePudding user response:
This can be solved by adding a jsconfig.json
file to your project root. Specifically by including at least the following, my project started auto-importing with the .js
file extension as required by NodeJS.
jsconfig.json
{
"compilerOptions": {
"moduleResolution": "nodenext", // <- Necessary to get imports with .js
},
"exclude": ["node_modules"]
}
Note:
VS Code will complain about the nodenext
value requiring a special package, but it works fine without it.
