Quick Info for imported JSON

require("file.json") should load json data with the intellisense as of require another js with module.exports. But vscode can't parse it out to intellisense

@Thaina can you please provide an example. It is hard to understand what exactly you mean.

@dbaeumer
I have config.js

module.exports = {
	"season": 1
};

and config.json

{
	"season": 1
}

As you can see. require js file got the intellisense loaded. But json file cannot

@Thaina. Now it is clear, thanks. Node.js supports to require a json file since a while, but unfortunately we do not support this in the JS language service, yet.

Looking at this today and it looks like we don't get IntelliSense for either.

Output from TS Service confirms Visual Studio Code is displaying the correct info.
