How to run tslint.json?

Question

I am newbie to typescript. I have tslint.json file created but don't have an idea about how to run this file using command line. Please advise which command do I need to use to run this config

Answer 1

tslint.json is TSLint configuration file. It requires either global tslint installation:

npm i -g tslint

In this TSLint can be executed from command line as tslint

Or local installation:

npm i tslint

In this case tslint should be specified in package.json scripts:

"scripts": { "lint": "tslint" }

And be executed as npm run lint .

As tslint --help says, it accepts the following commandline options:

 -c, --config: The location of the configuration file that tslint will use to determine which rules are activated and what options to provide to the rules. If no option is specified, the config file named tslint.json is used, so long as it exists in the path. 

tslint.json from existing file structure will be used by default.
