Introduction

Lint away TypeScript's evolutionary cruft

Use the TSLint rules in ts-cruftless to prevent introducing problematic and dated language features to your codebase. Find links to articles detailing the reasons for each rule below:

Rules

no-class-access-modifiers - explanatory article

no-enums *

no-angle-bracket-type-assertions *

no-abstract-classes-and-methods *

no-namespaces-and-internal-modules *

Do you think another rule should be included, disagree with with one of the rules listed, or have an idea for a better explanation? File an issue to start a discussion about it.

*Blog post coming soon... if I get the time :)

Getting Started

Install ts-cruftless just like you would any other dev dependency:

npm install ts-cruftless --save-dev

Then in your tslint.json file extend ts-cruftless:

{
  "extends": ["ts-cruftless"]
}

You can disable individual rules as follows:

{
  "extends": ["ts-cruftless"],
  "rules": {
    // Name of rule you'd like to disable, for example:
    "no-class-access-modifiers": false
  }
}
