Vscode-react-native: Salsa Doesn't Provide Intellisense When Using Import Statements

[joshuaskelton]

Salsa IntelliSense does not work when using ES6 style import statments. I've tried tweaking some tsconfig.json settings, but without much luck.

This does not work:
import React, { AppRegistry } from 'react-native';

But this does:
var React = require('react-native'); var { AppRegistry } = React;

This is a known TypeScript issue:

Thanks for keeping us looped in! :+1:

Looks like the change was merged. I'll verify once we get the typescript bits.

Any update on when this fix will be pushed out? Negates one of the most awesome features of VSCode, at least for my current project.

@zchrykng The fix is available in the latest VS Code insiders build. Pls see https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2016/02/01/introducing_insiders_build

You need to enable "allowSyntheticDefaultImports". This is the jsconfig.json:

jsconfig.json

 {
    "compilerOptions": {
        "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true
    }
}
