How to enable autocomplete for Google Apps Script in locally-installed IDE

Question

I\'m trying to build GAS projects locally using clasp.

Any locally-installed IDE is a huge improvement over Google\'s Script Editor, so the tool looks very promising

Answer 1

I found the solution that partially works, but it may not be applicable to other software. The steps below are for Visual Studio Code:

1. Install the NPM package containing type definitions for GAS using

   https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/google-apps-script
   

2. In your locally-saved script, create a '.js' file and type

   import 'google-apps-script';
