TypeScript tsconfig.json Configuration for fewer programming errors
Example
There are very good configurations to force typings and get more helpful errors which are not activated by default.
{
"compilerOptions": {
"alwaysStrict": true, // Parse in strict mode and emit "use strict" for each source file.
// If you have wrong casing in referenced files e.g. the filename is Global.ts and you have a /// <reference path="global.ts" /> to reference this file, then this can cause to unexpected errors. Visite: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36628612/typescript-transpiler-casing-issue
"forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true, // Disallow inconsistently-cased references to the same file.
// "allowUnreachableCode": false, // Do not report errors on unreachable code. (Default: False)
// "allowUnusedLabels": false, // Do not report errors on unused labels. (Default: False)
"noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true, // Report errors for fall through cases in switch statement.
"noImplicitReturns": true, // Report error when not all code paths in function return a value.
"noUnusedParameters": true, // Report errors on unused parameters.
"noUnusedLocals": true, // Report errors on unused locals.
"noImplicitAny": true, // Raise error on expressions and declarations with an implied "any" type.
"noImplicitThis": true, // Raise error on this expressions with an implied "any" type.
"strictNullChecks": true, // The null and undefined values are not in the domain of every type and are only assignable to themselves and any.
// To enforce this rules, add this configuration.
"noEmitOnError": true // Do not emit outputs if any errors were reported.
}
}
Not enough? If you are a hard coder and want more, then you may be interested to check your TypeScript files with tslint before compiling it with tsc. Check how to configure tslint for even stricter code.
