Rule: no-inferrable-types

Disallows explicit type declarations for variables or parameters initialized to a number, string, or boolean.

Rationale

Explicit types where they can be easily inferred by the compiler make code more verbose.

Notes

• TypeScript Only
• Has Fix

Config

Two arguments may be optionally provided:

• ignore-params allows specifying an inferrable type annotation for function params. This can be useful when combining with the typedef rule.
• ignore-properties allows specifying an inferrable type annotation for class properties.

Examples

"no-inferrable-types": true

"no-inferrable-types": true,ignore-params

"no-inferrable-types": true,ignore-params,ignore-properties

Schema

{
  "type": "array",
  "items": {
    "type": "string",
    "enum": [
      "ignore-params",
      "ignore-properties"
    ]
  },
  "minLength": 0,
  "maxLength": 2
}

Rule: curly

Enforces braces for if/for/do/while statements.

Rationale

if (foo === bar)
    foo++;
    bar++;

In the code above, the author almost certainly meant for both foo++ and bar++ to be executed only if foo === bar. However, they forgot braces and bar++ will be executed no matter what. This rule could prevent such a mistake.

Notes

• Has Fix

Config

One of the following options may be provided:

• "as-needed" forbids any unnecessary curly braces.
• "ignore-same-line" skips checking braces for control-flow statements that are on one line and start on the same line as their control-flow keyword

Examples

"curly": true

"curly": true,ignore-same-line

"curly": true,as-needed

Schema

{
  "type": "array",
  "items": {
    "type": "string",
    "enum": [
      "as-needed",
      "ignore-same-line"
    ]
  }
}
