Q: VS Code treats JavaScript files as Typescript I have currently started using Typescript and I have been using it for a couple days, everything works fine (Emmet, linting etc...), but when I open up my old projects which are written in JavaScript, vs code is giving me warnings and errors about typing and stuff related to typescript.
somehow Vs Code can't recognize that I am using JavaScript.
PS. i am working on a vue (nuxt) project and Vetur Plugin is handling syntax highlighting, linting etc...
error examples:
'modifyHtml' is declared but its value is never read.ts(6133)
Property '$store' does not exist on type 'CombinedVueInstance<Record<never, any> & Vue, object, object, object, Record<never, any>>'.Vetur(2339)

A: if you have tslint, try disabling it. That might solve the issue, sometimes these errors come in eslint too, though

A: This is what has worked for me. In my workspace settings.json:
{
  "vetur.validation.interpolation": false
}

This is my jsonfig.json settings:
{
  "include": ["./src/**/*"]
}


A: I think I had the same problem. This took my a while to figure out but I think I have it.
To disable type-checking for JavaScript files, add checkJs: false to the compilerOptions section of your jsconfig.json in the project root directory.
This is my jsconfig.json:
{
    "include": ["./src/**/*"],
    "compilerOptions": {
        "checkJs": false
    }
}
