Modern Web Development in Visual Studio 2017

  The jQuery intellisense seems to stop working after you transpile, typing $. brings up nothing. Has anyone got this issue?

  }

  You mentioned that "Transpile to Javascript" takes your ES6 and makes it ES5, but you didn't select any ES versions.  How do I pick which version of ES I want to use?
