When the checkbox is cleared, on pressing ⌥ ⏎ AppCode shows a popup that suggests to import the symbol:
Completion and auto-import also work for React components, including stateless components. AppCode properly detects them, provides code completion, and adds import statements automatically:

Select this checkbox if you want AppCode to generate import statements in TypeScript code. Use the checkboxes below to choose when import generation will be invoked.

On code completion If this checkbox is selected, AppCode automatically inserts an import statement in TypeScript code when you complete a symbol exported in another project file.
With auto-import tooltip If this checkbox is selected, AppCode shows a tooltip with an import suggestion when you position the caret at an unresolved symbol that can be imported. When the checkbox is cleared, you can invoke import generation only be pressing ⌥ ⏎.
Unambiguous imports on the fly With this checkbox selected, AppCode adds import statements when you type your code or paste a fragment with a symbol that is not yet imported if there is only one source to import the symbol from.

When you are using ES6 modules in a browser that requires full file names, for example, in Chrome, it is important that the names of ES6 modules in import statements have the .js extensions.

To add the extension automatically in the JavaScript context, select the Use file extension in module name checkbox on the Imports tab of the Code Style: JavaScript page.
To add the extension automatically in the TypeScript context, select the Use .js file extension in module name checkbox on the Imports tab of the Code Style: TypeScript page.
