Reactjs – React & VsCode forwardRef Intellisense

I am trying to get intellisense in VSCode working for functional components that use forwardRef.

Assume a functional component like this:

const Slider = forwardRef(({value = 0, onChange = () => { /* some function */ }}, ref) => {
  return "whatever"
})
export default Slider;

If use this component somewhere else, the props value and onChange are not suggested by intellisense. I am not using typescript, so is there any workaround to get intellisense work in this case without adding much overhead?

I just found suggestions for typescript implementations, but not for this approach.

 * @property {function(number):void} [onChange] - Callback function triggered when the value changes.
 */

/**
 * Slider component
 * @param {SliderProps} props
 * @param {React.Ref} ref - Forwarded ref for the slider element.
 * @returns {React.ReactElement} The Slider component.
 */
const Slider = forwardRef(...)

 * @ param {function} [props.onChange] - The change handler function 
 */
const Slider = f…
