Here’s a quick command to get everything you need installed:
This installs the ESLint parser and plugin for TypeScript, alongside ESLint and TypeScript themselves.
TypeScript provides several comments that let you disable its type-checking in various scopes.
While the above comments can be incredibly useful, they can also be a double-edged sword, potentially leading to ignored errors and technical debt.
That's where the ESLint rule @typescript-eslint/ban-ts-comment
comes into play. This rule allows you to enforce or restrict the use of these TypeScript directive comments.
Configuring ESLint to use this rule involves adding it to your .eslintrc
configuration file. Here’s how you might set it up to discourage the use of @ts-ignore
without a valid explanation in a comment:
This setup ensures that any @ts-ignore
comment must be accompanied by a description, encouraging developers to think twice before bypassing TypeScript's type-checking and to document their reasons for doing so.
While disabling warnings can be handy in certain situations, it's always best to address the underlying issues whenever possible. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:
@ts-ignore
and other similar comments for truly exceptional cases.
