ts-ide-overrides

This plugin allows you to override a subset of TypeScript compilerOptions when editing files in an IDE. (Specifically strict and its 8 associated options: alwaysStrict, strictNullChecks, strictBindCallApply, strictFunctionTypes, strictPropertyInitialization, noImplicitAny, noImplicitThis, useUnknownInCatchVariables.)

The purpose of the plugin is to support gradual adoption of strict rules, without breaking pre-existing build and validation processes.

Configuration

Add plugin to tsconfig.json:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    // (other options ommitted)
    "plugins": [
      {
        "name": "ts-ide-overrides",
        "overrides": {
          // just an example...
          "strictNullChecks": true,
          "noImplicitAny": true
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Comments

The plugin supports code comments to toggle any of the 9 options for the current file:

// @ts-ide-disable-strict-null-checks
/* @ts-ide-enable-no-implicit-this */
