Why am I getting error in tsconfig when I install React TS from Vite?

Question

I have installed React TS in Vite, but it is showing me an error in tsconfig.json. I can't figure out why because I haven't even tried to change the installed code yet. What is the reason?

[tsconfig.json ](https://i.sstatic.net/obFT4.png)

> 1. error: Specify how TypeScript looks up a file from a given module specifier.

Answer 1

Try changing the typescript version in your vs code to "Use workspace version" like that

Osbourne

But I don't have the "workspace version" – Burning

Run "npm install" before that – Osbourne

You are correct, this fix it for me – Aran

How will I get this option – Aardvark

to get this option, click on the curly braces near Typescript React on the bottom panel of VSCode, click Select Version and the option to use the workspace version will pop up on the top of your screen – Connive

Answer 2

Adding the settings.json fix, which is in effect the same as the the top fix

This can be resolved by adding the following to your settings.json inside of your .vscode folder

{
  "typescript.tsdk": "node_modules/typescript/lib"
}

Try the node.js version under the version 18. It will avoid the error.

PS C:\Users\gowsh\Desktop\Weather Web App> node --version
v18.12.0
PS C:\Users\gowsh\Desktop\Weather Web App> npm create vite@latest
√ Project name: ... Weather App
√ Package name: ... weather-app
√ Select a framework: » React
√ Select a variant: » TypeScript
