Description
I'm facing the current issue when importing a JS file into a TS project
The solution is to create a @types/cognitoAuth/index.d.ts file for the types, or convert the file to typescript.
It would be great if in vscode we could use the code action feature ( CTRL + . ) to either generate an empty types file with boilerplate, or try convert file to TS?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the TypeScript language-service code-action support and the local JavaScript-module workflow described in the issue. Determine whether the goal is boilerplate declaration generation, JavaScript-to-TypeScript conversion, or both; done means a VS Code action provides the agreed result for a local JS import.
