title: How to enable IntelliSense for Backbone in VS Code
body: <p>I am trying to install TypeScript definitions for an example Backbone.js project.</p>
  
  <p>In a project directory, I have issued the following commands:</p>
  
  <pre><code>npm init
  npm install typings
  typings install dt~backbone --global
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This adds an <code>index.d.ts</code> and a <code>typings.json</code> file to a <code>\typings\globals\backbone</code> folder.</p>

  <p>The console output is as follows:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZKkH4.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZKkH4.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>As shown, the files are each 1 KB, and VS Code intellisense does not pick up any Backbone definitions. (The project folder does contain a jsconfig.json file.)</p>
  
  <p>Should the "typings install dt~backbone..." command not install the actual backbone type definitions (found in <code>backbone-global.d.ts</code> (17 KB)), and also dependencies like underscore and jquery (each around 140 KB)? Does the <code>stripped reference</code> indicate some type of error?</p>
  
  <p>How do I install these files/definitions (so that VS Code intellisense will work correctly)?</p>
