ts4js

leverage TypeScript compiler for writing plain old JavaScript

💡 The idea:

I like JavaScript. I like the fact that is dynamic. I want to write JavaScript, but we all know that sometimes an helping hand while writing our code could simplify our life. So, here a tsconfig that let's you write JS, while TS compiler prevents you from introduce annoying bugs

The rules:

rule	value	meaning
allowJs	true	Allow JavaScript files to be compiled
checkJs	true	support type-checking and reporting errors in .js files
noFallthroughCasesInSwitch	true	helpful if you never want to forget a break statement between cases in a switch block
noImplicitAny	true	need to explicitly set type to any
noImplicitReturns	true	Report error when not all code paths in function return a value
noImplicitThis	true	TypeScript will issue an error when this is used without an explicit (or inferred) type
noUnusedLocals	true	Report errors on unused locals
noUnusedParameters	true	Report errors on unused parameters
strictBindCallApply	true	Enable stricter checking of of the bind, call, and apply methods on functions

How to use it:

You just need to copy this tsconfig file inside your working directory, like this:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/glippi/ts4js/master/tsconfig.json
