Karate - karate.configure('headers', { Accept: 'application/json' }); is not recognized in karate-config.js file. It says missing import statements

I have setup a new karate project and everything working fine but when I try to use "karate.configure()" in "karate-config.js" file it does not recognize and when I hover over it, I get this message "missing import statements, insert const karate = require(./Chart.min)"

This is how my "karate-config.js" file looks like: "```

function fn() {

karate.configure("headers", {'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'})
karate.configure('connectTimeout', 6000000);
karate.configure('readTimeout', 6000000);
var config = {
    baseUrl: 'https://someurl',
    iprHost: 'https://url',


};

return config;

}

And the dependencies I am using are :
