vscode-tslint

Integrates the tslint linter for the TypeScript language into VS Code.

Please refer to the tslint documentation for how to configure the linting rules.

Prerequisites

The extension requires that tslint is installed either locally or globally.

Tip: if you get the error that "failed to load tslint", but you have tslint installed locally, then try to install tslint and its typescript dependency globally using npm install -g tslint typescript.

The recommended version of tslint is 3.2.1.

Configuration options

• tslint.enable - enable/disable tslint.
• tslint.rulesDirectory - an additional rules directory, for user-created rules.
• tslint.configFile - the configuration file that tslint should use instead of the default tslint.json.
• tslint.ignoreDefinitionFiles - control if TypeScript definition files should be ignored.
• tslint.exclude - configure glob patterns of file paths to exclude from linting.
• tslint.validateWithDefaultConfig - validate a file for which there was no custom tslint confguration found. The default is false.

Quick fixes

The extension supports some quick fixing of warnings. For warnings which support a quick fix a light bulp is shown when the cursor is positioned inside the warning's range. You can apply the quick fix by either clicking the light bulp or by executing the Quick Fix command. The following quick fixes are currently supported:

• missing whitespace
• missing semicolon
• missing trailing comma
• ' should be "
• " sould be '
• trailing whitespace
• file should end with a newline
• forbidden 'var' keyword
