TSLint

TSLint is an extensible static analysis tool that checks TypeScript code for readability, maintainability, and functionality errors. It is widely supported across modern editors & build systems and can be customized with your own lint rules, configurations, and formatters.

TSLint supports:

• an extensive set of core rules
• custom lint rules
• custom formatters (failure reporters)
• inline disabling and enabling of rules with comment flags in source code
• configuration presets (tslint:latest, tslint-react, etc.) and plugin composition
• automatic fixing of formatting & style violations
• integration with MSBuild, Grunt, Gulp, Atom, Eclipse, Emacs, Sublime, Vim, Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2017, Visual Studio code, WebStorm and more

Development

Prerequisites:

• node v7+
• yarn v1.0+

Quick Start

git clone git@github.com:palantir/tslint.git --config core.autocrlf=input --config core.eol=lf
yarn
yarn compile
yarn test

Creating a new release

1. Bump the version number in package.json and src/linter.ts
2. Add release notes in CHANGELOG.md
   • Use ./scripts/generate-changelog.js (after building it with tsc -p scripts) to generate the changelog diff. This script expects a github.com personal access token to exist at ~/github_token.txt with "repo" permissions.
3. Commit with message Prepare release <version>
4. Push your branch to GitHub and make a PR
5. Once your PR is merged, wait for the tests to pass on CircleCI for develop
6. Create a "Release" on GitHub with the proper tag version and notes from the changelog.
   • The tag should be identical to the version in package.json
7. Run yarn run publish:local
