Can VS Code automatically update JavaScript and TypeScript import paths on file rename/move?

Question

Is there a module for vscode that would update paths towards files? e.g. if I have:

import \'./someDir/somelib\'

and I rename or move so

Answer 1

As @jamey graham mentioned, it stopped working for me in a React typescript project. The fix was to update the tsconfig.json file to have:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "baseUrl": "./src",
    // ...
  },
}

and to remove the "include": ["src"] option just for moving the files. VS Code should update the paths nicely after this.

You can bring back the "include": ["src"] option after this.

I do not know why removing the "include": ["src"] worked though.

If this doesn't do the trick, try opening a .ts file and trigger the Typescript: Restart TS server option in the command prompt and try again.
