  1. Install Node.js Extension Pack in Visual Studio Code Editor.

  2. Then install the Node.js Modules Intellisense plug-in in Visual Studio Code Editor.

The image below belongs to the test study I made after installing the plugins I mentioned above. You can review this article to create the test project.

Node.JS and NPM must be installed on the system for all the processes I mentioned above to work. To check:

> node --version
v14.17.6
> npm --version
v6.14.15
