Need Instructions for Installing in Visual Studio Code

[JMichaelTX]

Hi, your system looks great, but I can't get it work in Visual Studio Code.

I did the following:

1. npm install @jxa/global-type -- successful
2. Open VSC, and enter your sample code:

import "@jxa/global-type";

// your JXA application
var userName = Application("System Events").currentUser().name();

But as I type "App" I do not see the autocomplete as shown in your GIF, nor do I see it when I type "Application("Sys"

Can you please help me get your system running in VSC?

Thanks.

Run the following command

mkdir jxa-demo
cd jxa-demo
npm init -y
npm i @jxa/global-type
touch index.js

Then open the index.js editor in vscode, you can get intellisense normally

I suspect that some of your extensions or settings have prevented IntelliSense from functioning properly.

You can try to disable all extensions and settings, and edit to see if there will be intellisense?

My environment

vscode: 1.43.2
Node.js: 12.8.1

I am not an expert, I just hope I can help you.
