Description
Problem
When working with Mongoose in JavaScript (not TypeScript), VS Code does not show autocomplete suggestions for common MongoDB operators like $inc, $eq, $ne, etc.
However, when using WebStorm, these suggestions appear as expected.
Example
const result = await User.find({
$or: [
{ userName: { $elemMatch: { name: "Mehdi" } } },
{ age: { $gte: 18 } }
]
});
In the above example, $or doesn't appear in suggestions while typing in VS Code, but it does in WebStorm.
What I Know I understand that VS Code relies heavily on TypeScript's language service for JavaScript intelligence.
But since this is a common pattern in many Node.js/Mongoose applications, I'm wondering:
Is there a way to configure VS Code (via jsconfig.json, type acquisition, or something else) to provide better autocomplete for these $ MongoDB operators in plain JavaScript files?
Environment VS Code: latest
Language mode: JavaScript
Mongoose version: latest
Node.js version: 21
OS: Windows
