How can I make IntelliSense work for discord.js when using typescript?

[blnayan]

I am using typescript to make a discord bot but I ran into a problem which is that when using require function to import discord.js module, IntelliSense doesn't work. Is there a possible way to fix this?

If you want an example, then the code snippet at discord.js.org homepage is what used similarly to import discord.js module.

I would expect that if writing TypeScript you'd be using the ES6 import syntax rather than require.

Is it possible to have IntelliSense while using require in TypeScript?

You can use import Discord = require('discord.js') [docs], but it's probably better to just use the standard import Discord from 'discord.js' syntax.

Not having IntelliSense with const/let/var and import seems to be standard TS behavior, not related to d.js.

Yea I figured that out as I researched a bit more. Thanks though.
