About Path Intellisense

TsConfig support
BaseUrl
Pathintellisense uses the ts.config.compilerOptions.baseUrl as a mapping. So no need to define it twice.
For example:
# Folderstructure
src/
module-a
foo.ts
module-b
// tsconfig
{
"baseUrl": "src",
}
would allow to type:
{
import {} from "module-a/foo.ts";
}
You can disable this behaviour by setting it to true:
{
"path-intellisense.ignoreTsConfigBaseUrl": true,
}
Paths
Pathintellisense uses the ts.config.compilerOptions.paths as a mapping.
For example:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"paths": {
"@/*": ["src/*"]
}
}
}
Note: Fallbacks are not supported.
Settings
File extension in import statements
Path Intellisense removes the file extension by default if the statement is a import statement. To enable file extensions set the following setting to true:
{
"path-intellisense.extensionOnImport": true,
}
Show hidden files
Per default, hidden files are not displayed. Set this to true to show hidden files.
{
"path-intellisense.showHiddenFiles": true,
}
If set to false, PathIntellisense ignores the default "files.exclude" as well:
{
"files.exclude": {
"**/*.map.js": true
}
}
Auto slash when navigating to folder
Per default, the autocompletion does not add a slash after a directory.
{
"path-intellisense.autoSlashAfterDirectory": false,
}
Automatically trigger next suggestion
When a suggestion was selected, the next suggestion will automatically pop up.
This setting will override the autoSlashAfterDirectory setting.
{
"path-intellisense.autoTriggerNextSuggestion": false,
}
Absolute paths
Per default, absolute paths are resolved within the current workspace root path. Set it to false to resolve absolute paths to the disk root path.
{
"path-intellisense.absolutePathToWorkspace": true,
}
Mappings
Define custom mappings which can be useful for using absolute paths or in combination with webpack resolve options.
{
"path-intellisense.mappings": {
"/": "${workspaceFolder}",
"lib": "${workspaceFolder}/lib",
"global": "/Users/dummy/globalLibs"
},
}
Use ${workspaceFolder} when the path should be relative to the current root of the current project. V2.2.1 and lower used ${workspaceRoot}. Newer version support both placeholders.
