vscode imports import console = require(“console”); automatically

Question

import console = require(\"console\");

console. << I type . and above gets imported automatically in VScode. Anybody knows how t

Answer 1

The most elegant solution that I found is to create dummy console.d.ts file somewhere in your project:

declare module 'console' {
    export = typeof import("console");
}

This will prevent auto-importing.
