VSCode suggestions stop working:

Inizia dalla riproduzione collegata di TypeScript Playground e segui il percorso tsserver segnalato attraverso checkImportMetaProperty e checkMetaProperty. Verifica che l’URL passata a dynamic import non produca più l’errore di tipo segnalato né l’assertion di tsserver e che VSCode IntelliSense e il controllo dei tipi continuino a funzionare.
