What it is

typescript-eslint is a set of packages that let ESLint, a popular linter for JavaScript, understand and check TypeScript code. It provides a parser, plugin rules, and shared configuration so teams can catch problems and enforce style in TypeScript projects. The README describes it as static analysis, meaning code is checked without being run.

  • Lint TypeScript source files in a project with ESLint
  • Enable TypeScript-aware rules in an existing ESLint configuration
  • Parse TypeScript into a syntax tree for custom ESLint rules (via the typescript-estree package)

Great for

  • JavaScript and TypeScript developers who already use ESLint
  • Teams that want consistent code checks across a TypeScript codebase
  • Projects that want TypeScript-aware lint rules

Not ideal for

  • Projects that do not use TypeScript or ESLint, since the tools only extend ESLint
  • Users looking for a standalone app with a graphical interface, since this is a set of developer packages
