Hey just updated my vscode and now vscode doesnt necessarily highlight my code as it used to, ie classes in green, functions in yellow etc. Any ideas?
Tried playing around with some settings the language mode in the bottom right to no avail.

That appears to be React rather than vanilla JavaScript. Do you have a React extension? Is the file recognised as such? – Álvaro González Jul 03 '23 at 09:43

Do you have node packages installed? – Adrian Kokot Jul 03 '23 at 09:44

1Shouldn't that file have a `.jsx` suffix? – spender Jul 03 '23 at 09:45

tried with a ```.jsx``` suffix as well no help, i do have a react extension and yes the node packages are installed – hello_programmers Jul 03 '23 at 09:53

1Status bar says "JavaScript". I'd expect "JavaScript JSX". I'm not sure how it worked before the update (I don't know if React enforces file extensions). – Álvaro González Jul 03 '23 at 09:55

This is a tool question and doesn't relate to coding. check the release notes at https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_78 and/ or try the newer 1.79? – T. Nielsen Jul 03 '23 at 10:47

@spender I don't really think that matters for react.js code. As shown in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46169472/reactjs-js-vs-jsx – Alvin CHENG Jul 03 '23 at 11:09

Welcome to the stackoverflow community,
One reason could be that your theme is incorrect, specifically, your theme is set on the visual studio one(which does not have syntax highlight). However, you can just set it simply to the Dark+ theme to start using syntax highlighting.
Hope this helped you!
