Fix tsconfig.json 'cannot find type definition file for node'

Dec 11, 2023

Fix the tsconfig.json 'cannot find type definition file for node' error by installing the @types/node package as a dev dependency and reloading VS Code.

~~~

Run

npm i -D @types/node

#or

bun i -D @types/node

and restart VS Code (or reload the window)

If your tsconfig.json needs more fixing than that, I built a free tsconfig generator that builds a sensible config and explains every option.
