Issue: Chakra UI intellisense is not working in VS Code

ChakraUI (v 2.8.2) and Vite (v5.0.8)

Some times issues with IntelliSense while using Chakra UI with a JavaScript-based Vite template in VS Code. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the problem:

1. Check VS Code Extensions

Ensure that you have the necessary VS Code extensions installed for JavaScript/JSX support and TypeScript.

For JavaScript/JSX:

• “JavaScript and TypeScript Nightly” by Microsoft (or similar extensions for JavaScript/JSX support)
• “ESLint” extension (if you’re using ESLint for linting)

For TypeScript:

• “TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features” by Microsoft

2. TypeScript Configuration (if applicable)

If you’re using TypeScript, it often provides better IntelliSense. Ensure that your tsconfig.json or jsconfig.json file includes the necessary settings to enable IntelliSense:

For jsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es6",
    "module": "esnext",
    "jsx": "preserve",
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "paths": {
      "@chakra-ui/react": ["node_modules/@chakra-ui/react"]
    }
  },
  "include": ["src"]
}

3. Ensure Proper Import Statements

Make sure you’re importing Chakra UI components correctly. For example:

import { ChakraProvider, Button } from '@chakra-ui/react';

4. Restart VS Code

Sometimes, restarting VS Code can resolve IntelliSense issues caused by caching or conflicting extensions.

5. Clear VS Code Cache (if necessary)

If the issue persists, you can try clearing the VS Code cache:

• Close VS Code.
• Locate the .vscode folder in your project directory (if hidden, make sure to reveal hidden files/folders).
• Delete the settings.json file inside the .vscode folder.
• Reopen VS Code and check if the IntelliSense is working properly.

6. Update Chakra UI and Dependencies

Ensure that you’re using the latest version of Chakra UI and related dependencies. Sometimes, outdated versions can cause compatibility issues leading to IntelliSense problems.

7. Consider Using TypeScript (if feasible)

Sometimes the TypeScript template works fine, consider migrating to TypeScript if it’s feasible for your project. TypeScript often provides better tooling support, including improved IntelliSense.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, it might be worthwhile to consult the Chakra UI GitHub repository or community forums for any reported issues or specific configurations required for JavaScript-based projects with Chakra UI.
