How to get node subpath imports intellisense working

Recently, i started using subpath imports in my node project for mainly my utilities directory. It allowed me to go from

const { promptMessage } = require('../../../../utils/promptMessage.js');

to

const { promptMessage } = require('#utils/promptMessage.js');

The problem i have however, is that my intellisense is no longer working. I found some things with jsconfig.json, but those only seem to work on import statements, not require(). Is there a way to get intellisense with subpath imports?

In combination with the imports in package.json i was able to get back intellisense by creating a jsconfig.json file looking like this:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "baseUrl": ".",
        "paths": {
            "#utils/*": ["./utils/*"],
            "#database/*": ["./database/*"],
            "#file": ["./dir/file.js"],
            "#colors": ["./commanddata/colors.json"]
        }
    }
}
