On a Mac ... global solution. (2021)

If you are using the amazing ESLint in the amazing VS Code on Mac,

Simply go to ~ (ie /users/your-name)

edit .eslintrc.json (you can edit it in VSCode of course!)

You'll likely add

"node": true

if you're working with node, or perhaps "amd" as stated in the answers here. ("amd" gives specifically and only require and define).

This is a global solution for all workspaces you open.

Importantly, this also works if you are using VS Code "remotely", so, with no workspace. For example, you may open a file on a server just using sftp, and work on the file in VSCode. Or you may be opening just a single local file on the Mac, not part of a workspace. In both these cases the setting (eg, node=true) will in fact work - it needn't be a workspace.
