10

Why is Angular 10 making its Default Lint Program TSLint, when its deprecated? Does Angular recommend TSLint or ESLint?

    I assume because migration is going to be a major undertaking and ts-lint still works with the latest very TypeScript thus far. Consider that the Angular ecosystem widely uses custom ts-lint rules. – Aluan Haddad Sep 05 '20 at 01:46
  • hi @AluanHaddad feel free to place as answer, yeah, all these websites are saying recommend to ESLint, we tried migrating today, but got many unknown rule was not found errors –  Sep 05 '20 at 01:48
  • Honestly, I don't want to answer because I don't have experience migrating a large project and there isn't much for me to say aside from the obvious. One thing that seems to be confusing large numbers of users who are migrating is their, IMO baseless, assumption that any and all existing ESLint rules can and should be applicable to TypeScript. – Aluan Haddad Sep 05 '20 at 01:50

    People may consider this a low quality question, but closing this as _Seeking recommendations for books, tools, software libraries, and more_, would be incorrect in my view. – Aluan Haddad Sep 05 '20 at 01:52
  • yeah, not sure why they are voting down? trying to learn –  Sep 05 '20 at 01:53
  • It's not a great question. You don't really ask something that can be answered except by the Angular team member(s) responsible for these decisions and you don't demonstrate much research effort. You can do better but the close reason is invalid. – Aluan Haddad Sep 05 '20 at 01:54

    sometimes when I ask questions, Microsoft or AWS will directly answer –  Sep 05 '20 at 01:55
  • But I think the downvotes are justified. Googling _github angular eslint_ returned this as the 3rd result: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/13732. – Aluan Haddad Sep 05 '20 at 01:58

    well, I did put in research, we actually migrated (took 3 hours today), but before final code review, want to make sure –  Sep 05 '20 at 02:01
  • Indeed? I respect that. However, excepting an Angular team member answering here, which seems unlikely given the lack of official guidance in documentation, all we can do is muse over the state of things, as I am at this moment. – Aluan Haddad Sep 05 '20 at 02:05
  • https://github.com/angular-eslint/angular-eslint - I think the answer is that Angular gives you a path forward. The underlying package is deprecated and was at the time this question was asked. And does Angular really recommend deprecated projects??? – TamusJRoyce Aug 10 '21 at 16:54
