I want to use VS Code to try out the examples of a JavaScript book, but there's no IntelliSense, or at least I don't know how to activate it.

In Visual Studio this feature works out of the box :

But in VS Code, all I got is a message saying "No suggestions."

What do I need to do to enable IntelliSense in VS Code?

Starting with the November 2016 (version 1.8) release, Visual Studio Code now fully supports IntelliSense for JavaScript in HTML.

Note that the language support doesn't follow script includes, it only knows about definitions made in the same file.

It worked for me, when the file had a .js extension. I didn't get any intellisense when I pasted it into .html file between script tags.

Edit To Add: You can also change the Language Mode by clicking 'HTML' in the bottom of the VS Code window and change it to 'JavaScript'.

  • That's not a working solution for me. Should be able to have both html and javascript intellisense in one file, as for html files this is fairly common. – Peter Bons May 06 '16 at 17:47
  • It appears that currently this feature is no longer supported since the adoption of Salsa. – GJSmith3rd May 06 '16 at 23:38

It is supported!

Intellisense and syntax highlighting start working after replacing

<script>something()</script>

with

<script type="text/javascript">something()</script>

Make sure you have HTML language mode selected in the bottom right corner. I had Markdown mode set for an unknown reason (autodetect?) and it didn't work for me. Javascript mode won't work either for HTML files.

HTML language mode selected

Visual Studio Code version 1.4.0 does not support CSS intelli-sense.

I have an extension for CSS style, id and class intelli-sense for html documents:

Features:

  • Style tag completion and hover.
  • Style attribute completion and hover.
  • Id attribute completion.
  • Class attribute completion.
  • Scans workspace folder for css files.
  • Supports optional resource.json file for fine tuned resource selection.
