DEPRECATED

I originally created this project because it was impossible to run ESLint on a TypeScript codebase. Today you can use https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint for that purpose, so this project is unmaintained and deprecated.

ESLint rules for TSLint

Improve your TSLint with the missing ESLint Rules

You want to code in TypeScript but miss all the rules available in ESLint?

Now you can combine both worlds by using this TSLint plugin!

Usage

Install from NPM to your Dev Dependencies

npm install --save-dev tslint-eslint-rules

Or install from Yarn to your Dev Dependencies

yarn add tslint-eslint-rules --dev

Configure TSLint to use tslint-eslint-rules:

In your tslint.json file, source the rules from this package, e.g:

{
  "rules": {
    "no-constant-condition": true
  },
  "rulesDirectory": [
    "node_modules/tslint-eslint-rules/dist/rules"
  ]
}

You can also add other tslint config packages to combine these rules with other custom community rules.

Configure your rules

In your tslint.json file, insert the rules as described below.

Rules (copied from the ESLint website)

The following tables shows all the existing ESLint rules and the similar rules available in TSLint. Please refer to the following icons as they provide the status of the rule.
