Overview

@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin includes over 100 rules that detect best practice violations, bugs, and/or stylistic issues specifically for TypeScript code. See Configs for how to enable recommended rules using configs.

Extension Rules

In some cases, ESLint provides a rule itself, but it doesn't support TypeScript syntax; either it crashes, or it ignores the syntax, or it falsely reports against it. In these cases, we create what we call an extension rule; a rule within our plugin that has the same functionality, but also supports TypeScript.
