Advanced tools
An ESLint custom parser which leverages TypeScript ESTree
The @typescript-eslint/parser is an ESLint parser that allows for the analysis and linting of TypeScript code. It is part of the TypeScript-ESLint project, which aims to bring ESLint's powerful static analysis capabilities to TypeScript codebases. The parser converts TypeScript source code into an ESTree-compatible form so that it can be used by ESLint for linting and other code analysis tasks.
Parsing TypeScript code
This feature allows the parser to read TypeScript files and produce an abstract syntax tree (AST) that is compatible with ESLint, enabling it to understand and lint TypeScript syntax.
const { ESLint } = require('eslint');
async function main() {
const eslint = new ESLint({
parser: '@typescript-eslint/parser',
parserOptions: {
ecmaVersion: 2020,
sourceType: 'module',
project: './tsconfig.json'
}
});
const results = await eslint.lintFiles(['src/**/*.ts']);
// Handle the results
}
main();
Integration with ESLint rules
The parser can be used in conjunction with ESLint rules, including those specifically designed for TypeScript, to enforce code quality and style guidelines.
module.exports = {
parser: '@typescript-eslint/parser',
extends: [
'plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended'
],
rules: {
'@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars': 'error',
'@typescript-eslint/explicit-function-return-type': 'warn'
}
};
babel-eslint is an ESLint parser that allows you to lint all valid Babel code with ESLint. While it is not specifically designed for TypeScript, it can be used to lint code that uses Babel for transpilation, including TypeScript when used with the appropriate Babel plugins.
This is a deprecated package that was used to provide ESLint rules for TypeScript before the TypeScript-ESLint project was created. It has been replaced by the @typescript-eslint/parser and typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin packages.
An ESLint custom parser which leverages TypeScript ESTree to allow for ESLint to lint TypeScript source code.
npm install @typescript-eslint/parser --save-dev
In your ESLint configuration file, set the parser
property:
{
"parser": "@typescript-eslint/parser"
}
There is sometimes an incorrect assumption that the parser itself is what does everything necessary to facilitate the use of ESLint with TypeScript. In actuality, it is the combination of the parser and one or more plugins which allow you to maximize your usage of ESLint with TypeScript.
For example, once this parser successfully produces an AST for the TypeScript source code, it might well contain some information which simply does not exist in a standard JavaScript context, such as the data for a TypeScript-specific construct, like an interface
.
The core rules built into ESLint, such as indent
have no knowledge of such constructs, so it is impossible to expect them to work out of the box with them.
Instead, you also need to make use of one more plugins which will add or extend rules with TypeScript-specific features.
By far the most common case will be installing the @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin plugin, but there are also other relevant options available such a @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin-tslint.
The following additional configuration options are available by specifying them in parserOptions
in your ESLint configuration file.
ecmaFeatures.jsx
- default false
. Enable parsing JSX when true
. More details can be found here.
false
on *.ts
files regardless of this option.true
on *.tsx
files regardless of this option.useJSXTextNode
- default true
. Please set false
if you use this parser on ESLint v4. If this is false
, the parser creates the AST of JSX texts as the legacy style.
project
- default undefined
. This option allows you to provide a path to your project's tsconfig.json
. This setting is required if you want to use rules which require type information. You may want to use this setting in tandem with the tsconfigRootDir
option below.
tsconfigRootDir
- default undefined
. This option allows you to provide the root directory for relative tsconfig paths specified in the project
option above.
extraFileExtensions
- default undefined
. This option allows you to provide one or more additional file extensions which should be considered in the TypeScript Program compilation. E.g. a .vue
file
warnOnUnsupportedTypeScriptVersion
- default true
. This option allows you to toggle the warning that the parser will give you if you use a version of TypeScript which is not explicitly supported
{
"parser": "@typescript-eslint/parser",
"parserOptions": {
"ecmaFeatures": {
"jsx": true
},
"useJSXTextNode": true,
"project": "./tsconfig.json",
"tsconfigRootDir": "../../",
"extraFileExtensions": [".vue"]
}
}
Please see https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint for the supported TypeScript version.
Please ensure that you are using a supported version before submitting any issues/bug reports.
Please use the @typescript-eslint/parser issue template when creating your issue and fill out the information requested as best you can. This will really help us when looking into your issue.
