@spidy88/lint-staged-tsc v1.0.0

Lint Staged TSC

A wrapper CLI around tsc-files that allows us to filter compilation output for staged files only

Get started

Install peer depedencies

npm i -D typescript lint-staged tsc-files

Install this package

npm i -D @spidy88/lint-staged-tsc

Follow the instructions for lint-staged to invoke lint-staged-tsc on your staged files. Here's an example from the package.json:

"lint-staged": {
  "*.{ts,tsx}": [
    "lint-staged-tsc --noEmit --strict"
  ]
}

How it works

All parameters are forwarded to tsc-files. We then do a simple parse of the tsc-files output and ignore any output not related to a staged file. It's a very primitive attempt and there are likely many edge cases not taken into consideration but it should work for simple needs

Why

We found ourselves needing to update our Typescript config but this resulted in hundreds of errors across hundreds of files. In order to maintain velocity on product features, we only wanted to enforce the new rules across any files that get updated. Thus applying new rules to staged files and ignoring all other files which will most definitely still have errors until we can address them.
