JSX or HTML autocompletion in Visual Studio Code

Is there any way to use components or HTML completion in Visual Studio Code? Because typing each letter manually is not good idea when we have classes like Bootstrap etc. For example completion as in Emmet: ul>li*2>a

var React = require('react');

var Header = React.createClass({
    render: function () {
        return (

            <nav className="navbar navbar-defaullt">
                <div className="container-fluid">
                    <a href="/" className="navbar-brand">
                        <img width="50" height="50" src="images/logo.png" alt="logo" />
                    </a>
                    <ul className="nav navbar-nav">
                        <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
                        <li><a href="/#about">About</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </div>
            </nav>

                );
                }
                });
module.exports  = Header;

2019: Straight-to-the-point answer for React

The most straight-forward way to get JSX/HTML autocomplete in your React projects is to add this to your user settings or workspace settings (<project-path>/.vscode/settings.json):

      "emmet.includeLanguages": {
        "javascript": "javascriptreact"
      },
      "emmet.triggerExpansionOnTab": true

You may have to restart VS Code for the change to take effect.

P.S. If you're not doing this mapping for a React.js project, then KehkashanFazal's answer should probably work for you.
