You probably want something like this in your jsconfig.json file:

{
  "compilerOptions": {

      "lib": ["es6", "esnext"]  // or whatever in there, just not "dom"
      // intellisense will show you all the possible entries

   },
      "exclude": [
        "node_modules",
        "**/node_modules/*"
  ],
}

See github issue: getting rid of DOM types. I assume the lib option is "defining the context" of your project and without limiting it as in the example above you are getting much more "context" than you wish, you are getting the dom option.

And in general see vscode docs on jsconfig.
