Typescript in visual code and node_modules

Question

I have typescript installed and I am using visual code.

If i try to go to definition for a typescript function located in node_modules, visual studio expands the entire 'node_modules' folder, and I have to close it again.

It is ridiculous.

How can i stop that happening

In VSCode, if you have two options in vscode 's user settings：

set explorer.autoReveal to false, will disable automatically reveal files when opening them;
add "**/node_modules":true to files.exclude, will hide the node_modules folder from explore pane;

Neither of those settings will stop the node_modules folder from expanding if you have opened a file in it

if you add "**/node_modules":true to files.exclude, then you can't see node_modules directory in the explorer pane of vscode. if it is still here, try save your settings and reload vscode.
