tslint-path-formatter

TSLint formatter that displays absolute error path with row/column on one line.

A console formatter similar to the default output except the report displays absolute file paths with the row/column appended in a parsable format. The TypeScript equivalent of jshint-path-reporter.

This allows convenient use of TSLint from within tools that apply a filter RegExp to console views to turn error lines into clickable links to instantly navigate to the error location.

WebStorm

This reporter is tested and actively used in WebStorm with grunt-tslint. For maximum effect have a output filter configured in its edit-tool-dialog of the tool you run, something like:

$FILE_PATH$[ \t]*[:;,\[\(\{<]$LINE$(?:[:;,\.]$COLUMN$)?.*

Usage

Install from NPM

 $ npm install tslint-path-formatter

Then pass name of the module (or anything acceptable to require.resolve()) as the reporter option.

grunt-tslint

grunt.initConfig({
	//..
	tslint: {
		options: {
			configuration: grunt.file.readJSON("tslint.json"),
			formatter: 'tslint-path-formatter'
		}),
		source: {
			//..
		}
	}
});

Options

Globally disable ANSI colouring

For low-tech displays and pure text.

require('tslint-path-formatter').color(false);

Example output

Looks very similar to jshint-path-reporter:

WebStorm (with link filter and darcula theme):
