How to add TSLint to VSCode Default Build task?

Question

I have installed TSLint to VS Code.

In my angular app, how can I update VS Code to run TSLint against my source when I run the default build task?

Answer 1

TSLint for VS code is a visual help, not a build tool. Don't mix it up.

If you want to add a linter to your default build task, this will happen in your package.json :

"scripts": {
  "build": "ng build --prod"
}

replace this line with

"scripts": {
  "build": "ng lint; ng build --prod"
}

Now you can run

npm run build

and your project will lint before building.
