VSCode JavaScript validation: 'React' refers to a UMD global, but the current file is a module.

[MauricioRobayo]

Hello!

I'm using VSCode and when I enable javascript validation in VSCode: "javascript.validate.enable": true I get:

React' refers to a UMD global, but the current file is a module. Consider adding an import instead.

On every jsx file.

I tried adding a tsconfig.json file with:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "esnext",
    "target": "es2015",
    "jsx": "react-jsx",
    "strict": true
  },
  "include": ["./**/*.jsx"]
}

but the errors remain.

Is there a way to enable VSCode js validation on jsx files without getting the React' refers to a UMD global, but the current file is a module. Consider adding an import instead.ts(2686) error?

It needs to be a jsconfig.json for VSCode to pick it as this is not a typescript project (duh!): https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/jsconfig
