How to stop checking node_modules

Question

On small projects, I like the automatic listing of MS Code. But the moment the project starts pulling npm dependencies, it becomes useless

Completely unnecessary errors

Is there a way to set up specific folders to check? I know "search.excludeFolders"

, but it doesn't help with this problem.

If you are using TypeScript, you can create a file tsconfig.json

and choose from three options:

Provide an explicit list of files to compile, thereby preventing errors from being shown node_modules/*

.
Don't explicitly list the files (by default, all files ./**/*.ts

will be compiled), but place them tsconfig.json

inside your source folder, which node_modules

will automatically be excluded from compilation.
Use the new feature exclude

in tsconfig.json

(available soon).
