Installation

CLI

sudo npm install tslint -g

Library

npm install tslint

Usage

Please first ensure that the TypeScript source files compile correctly.

CLI

usage: tslint

Options:
  -c, --config  configuration file
  -f, --file    file to lint                 [required]
  -o, --out     output file
  -t, --format  output format (prose, json)  [default: "prose"]

By default, configuration is loaded from .tslintrc or tslint.json, if either exists in the current path.

Library

var options = {
	formatter: "json",
    configuration: configuration
};

var Linter = require("tslint");

var ll = new Linter(fileName, contents, options);
var result = ll.lint();

Development
