tslint-custom-rule-checkfortag

Custom TsLint Rule that is doing almost the same as the default deprecation rule. But the rule is not seaching for the @deprecation tag but for custom tags. These unwanted tags can be specifiedin the rule options.

Installation & Configuration

The rule is available as a npm package. First install the package:

npm install --save-dev @rosen-group/tslint-custom-rule-checkfortag

tslint.json

Inside your tslint.json file include the directory with the rule:

"rulesDirectory": [
    "node_modules/@rosen-group/tslint-custom-rule-checkfortag/dist/"
]

And add a rule for the Tag you want to avoid. Tags are specified as an array of strings:

"check-for-tag": {
    "options": [
        true,
        ["ContactArchitectureBeforeUse"]
    ],
    "severity": "warning"
}

Or specify multiple unwanted tags:

"check-for-tag": {
    "options": [
        true,
        ["ContactArchitectureBeforeUse", "MarkedForDeletion"]
    ],
    "severity": "warning"
}

Important notice: the short config form "check-for-tag": [true, ["ContactArchitectureBeforeUse"]] is not supported yet!

Disable warning

To allow the usage of tags in some cases just use the default TsLint syntax:

/* tslint:disable:check-for-tag */
    /**
     * Demo method
     * @param message Text to output
     * @ContactArchitectureBeforeUse
     */
    public helloWorld(message : string) : string {
        return 'Hello '+message;
    }
/* tslint:enable:check-for-tag */
