Quick NPM Install is a Visual Studio Code extension that helps you automatically identify and install missing npm packages in JavaScript and TypeScript projects. When hovering over or working with import statements, this extension offers a quick action to install any missing dependencies.
Features
Automatic Missing Package Detection: Detects missing npm packages in JavaScript and TypeScript files.
Quick Fix and Hover Actions: Provides a "Quick Fix" option in the editor and a hover message with a clickable link to install missing packages.
Single-Click Package Installation: Easily install missing packages without leaving your editor.
Example Usage
Hover over a missing package in an import statement and click the "Install package" link.
Use the "Quick Fix" option provided by VS Code when it identifies missing imports.
Requirements
Node.js and npm: Make sure you have Node.js and npm installed, as this extension relies on npm to install missing packages.

quickNpmInstall.enable: Enable or disable the Quick NPM Install extension. (default: true)
Known Issues
Limited to JavaScript, TypeScript, and React files (.js, .ts, .jsx, .tsx).
