'No syntax highlighting at all for Javascript or Typescript in Visual Studio 2019
I want to use visual studio 2019 to work on Typescript files however there is no syntax highlighting at all when I open ts files. There is however working syntax highlighting for C#. Right now it looks identical to if I opened it in notepad. Am I missing an extension or something? How do I fix this? Or is Typescript not supported in Visual Studio? Thanks.

- Check the box for Node.js development
- Click the Modify button in the bottom right
- Wait for the installation to complete
- If prompted to, restart your computer
