How to find module “fs” in VS Code with TypeScript?

Question

I\'m running on a MacBook Air. I installed VS Code as an IDE and also have TypeScript installed.

I have a simple file with just this line:

import fs = req         


        

Answer 1

You need to include the definition file for node.

TypeScript 2.0+

Install using npm:

npm install --save-dev @types/node

TypeScript < 2.0

If you use typings then you can run this command:

typings install dt~node --global --save

Or if you are using typings < 1.0 run:

typings install node --ambient --save

Or if all else fails, manually download the file here and include it in your project.
