VSCode TypeScript is Stuck!?

TypeScript Code with an error

How many times have you seen this little squiggley in your code and you are sure it shouldn’t be there? Happens to me quite a lot. Usually when I install a new package and TypeScript doesn’t seem to pick it up. Well there is a quick way to fix it (if it really shouldn’t be there).

While you are focused on a typescript file (.ts), open the command prompt cmd + shift + p. Type “restart” in the prompt and look for “TypeScript: Restart TS Server”.

Now, assuming you don’t have a type or lint error, you will be good to go again.
