Tslint: simple syntax check

Question

How can I use tslint to do a simple syntax check of my project ? At the moment, I don't want to enforce other style/code rules. My tslint.json is:

{
    "defaultSeverity": "error",
    "extends": [
        "tslint:recommended"
    ],
    "jsRules": {},
    "rules": {},
    "rulesDirectory": []
}

To run linting separately from other build steps, I typically add a lint script to package.json , like so:

  "scripts": {
    "lint": ".\\node_modules\\.bin\\tslint src\\**\\*.ts**"
  }

Then yarn lint or npm run lint to run the linter.
