Have you ever configured a linter considering TypeScript typing?

Yes, configuring a linter with TypeScript typing considerations is a common practice to improve code quality.
Main points:
- ESLint is used with the
@typescript-eslintplugin, which understands TypeScript syntax and types. - The linter configuration includes the parser
@typescript-eslint/parser, which analyzes code with TypeScript in mind. - Rules can be configured to consider types, such as warning about unused variables considering their types or incorrect type usage.
- Rules that require explicit type annotations or prohibit the use of
anycan be enabled.
Example of a basic .eslintrc.json configuration:
{
"parser": "@typescript-eslint/parser",
"plugins": ["@typescript-eslint"],
"extends": [
"eslint:recommended",
"plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended"
],
"rules": {
"@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars": ["error"],
"@typescript-eslint/explicit-function-return-type": "warn"
}
}
Thus, the linter helps not only with syntax but also with type safety, which is especially important in large TypeScript projects.
