How to get VS Code to understand JSDOC's @typedef across multiple files

Question

I want to specify a type in one file, and be able to reuse it in another one. I tried modules but it didn\'t work in VS Code. Is there any other solution? Just wanna have al

Answer 1

Since TypeScript 2.9 which is embedded in the newer VS Codes, it is possible by using the import syntax in JSDoc, like so

/**
 * @typedef {import("koa").Context} Context
 *
 * @typedef {Object} BodyparserOptions
 * @prop {(ctx: Context) => boolean} [detectJSON] Custom json request detect function. Default `null`.
 */

Also VS Code should be picking up all types defined across the workspace.
