How do I disable an ESLint rule? How do I find it's code?

[TomasHubelbauer]

I need to use any in a portion of my code because I'm receiving an API response that can have variable shape that is being inspected using reflection.

I have a type like this:

type Response = {
  id: number;
  title: string;
  customJsonData: any;
}

I went to add // eslint-disable-next-line over the customJsonData: any; but by itself that doesn't do anything. I found this comment but I have no idea how to find the ESLint rule name from this output:

./src/App.tsx
[17, 15]: Type declaration of 'any' loses type-safety. Consider replacing it with a more precise type, the empty type ('{}'), or suppress this occurence.

The suggestion to search for keywords to learn more about each warning is ridiculous, but that may be coming from CRA, I don't know. Either way there is no clear way to tell how what code does a rule I want to temporarily silence have. Can this be fixed in CRA TS or is this a problem in CRA itself?

The message you are seeing is from TSLint. You can edit the tslint.json file in the root of your project to tweak the TSLint settings to you liking. The linting error your seeing is no-any. You can read about the proper comment syntax to disable rules over at https://palantir.github.io/tslint/usage/rule-flags/

I used // tslint:disable-next-line: no-any to great success. Thank you @ianschmitz

If you're using g VS Code I recommend the TSLint extension, which will give you helpful intellisense as well as the ability to add rule flag comments or fix issues with a quick button click

Helpful, I do have it, but I was using Insiders and it did not occur to me to install it there as well. Good idea. Thanks!

This tslint line is supposed to be ignored:

but it isn't:

any ideas?
