No. VS Code will pick up auto imports from all files in your jsconfig or tsconfig project.

If the file should not be part of your project, you can exclude it using the excludes or includes / files configuration option in the jsconfig or tsconfig

Have you got a source for this? I can not reliably exclude using this technique. – dwjohnston Nov 26 '20 at 02:15

Do you have a jsconfig or tsconfig? – Matt Bierner Nov 26 '20 at 06:04
I have a tsconfig. – dwjohnston Nov 26 '20 at 06:09
See this repo: https://github.com/dwjohnston/import-from-parent-issue/tree/tsconfig (note tsconfig branch) go to `src/foo/fooFile.ts` and note that it still wants to import from the `src/index.ts` file, even though that it is excluded – dwjohnston Nov 26 '20 at 06:13

VSCode now supports this natively, if your project uses TypeScript 4.8+.

Just search for "auto import" in your settings menu, or use the typescript.preferences.autoImportFileExcludePatterns key in your json.
