Error: Cannot find module aws-sdk

 So I don't program daily and Visual Studio Code is still pretty new to me. I came across this issue when I was trying to code for lambda function but VS Code kept giving me this error and I couldn't figure out how to resolve it. I found something on a forum that seemed to work, but I had to read a lot to find it. 

So here is a snippet of my code:

var AWS = require('aws-sdk');

AWS.config.update({region: 'us-east-1'});

var async = require('async')

Go to terminal and type this:

 npm link aws-sdk

That should fix the issue by creating a symbolic link for node in your workspace, then VS code won't complain. If it errors out for async, repeat the process for async. You should be good to go.
