Doubts with TSLint

Question

I have some doubts with TSLint with ionic.

I have installed official TSLint rules for ionic from:

https://github.com/ionic-team/tslint-ionic-rules

Then I have installed globally tslint with:

npm install tslint typescript -g

How can I test my project and obtain the results with the CLI?

I have already tried with:

tslint -p /pathToRootProject > test.txt

But I am not sure if this is correct way.

On the other hand I have tried to do:

tslint --fix semicolon

But it returns:

'semicolon' does not exist. This will be an error in TSLint 6.

What I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Answer 1

I use the following command line to work with my project.

tslint --config ./tslint.json --project ./tsconfig.json --force --format stylish

--config and point to my tslint.json file with all the different rules I want to enforce.

--project uses the tsconfig.json, Typescript configuration for which files to build, options in Typescript to use with Linting, etc.

--force will return a status code of 0 (no errors even if the linter finds some) so my build process will continue.

--format to use the stylish formatter to get a nicer output that I prefer to use to clean up my code.

The complete TSLint command line interface guide is here.
