[Git] Ignore jsconfig.json (VSCode config file)

[jakeboone02]

• PR has tests / docs demo, and is linted. (N/A)
• Commit and PR titles begin with [ComponentName], and are in imperative form: "[Component] Fix leaky abstraction".
• Description explains the issue / use-case resolved, and auto-closes the related issue(s) (http://tr.im/vFqem).

VSCode needs a jsconfig.json file in the root folder of a project to enable ES2015 syntax recognition. Options are 1) to include the file in the repo, or 2) add it to .gitignore. A quick search leads me to believe that option 2 is right for this project.

See Angular and other examples.

@jakeboone02 Why not adding jsconfig.json in your global .gitignore?
I don't think that we should handle all the IDE 💩.
What about killing the # Exclude IDE project folders section instead?

[jakeboone02]

I could certainly be wrong, but I believe the file is useful to have committed in a repo for certain situations, so adding it to the global .gitignore could be problematic. I just looked at some other examples to see what they did and this is how they handled it.

I agree you probably don't want to manage every IDE config in the world, but handling the few most frequently used on any given project shouldn't add too much overhead and can ever-so-slightly lower the barriers to new contributors :).

That's a very good point.

@oliviertassinari - I'm with @jakeboone02 here.

I hadn't considered global .gitignore until your comment on another similar PR. I've set mine up now so I'm covered. However, the cost to us of accepting PRs to update .gitignore for additional editor configs or other files is effectively zero, so I don't think we should remove the IDE section.

@mbrookes, can you clarify? Your comment seems to contradict itself but I'm probably misreading it.

@jakeboone02 - thanks - rephrased the words after 'I don't think' to clarify.

[jakeboone02]

Got it. Thanks.
