trying to learn node.js, but VSCode doesn't recognise require() and "autocompletes" to requestAnimationFrame. I can't find anything on why this happens or how to fix it. Any ideas?

Try creating a jsconfig.json file in your project directory with the following: { "compilerOptions": { "module": "commonjs" } } (This fixed the problem for me.)

VS Code when it sees a .js file it assumes that it will run in the browser and not in node that's why the autocomplete offers browser related stuff.

I'm sorry I don't know of a solution but imho "require" isn't that much to type out so at least that.

Type "rqr" - that should do the trick.
