TSLint TextMate Bundle

Use the TSLint TypeScript validator in TextMate 2.

Features

• Validate automatically when you save your file, and on-demand.
• Auto-fix problems using the TSLint --fix command.
• Clickable problem icons are displayed in the TextMate gutter.
• Optionally get a detailed problem report by pressing Shift-Ctrl-V.

Install

First install TSLint:

• In your project
  • npm install --save-dev tslint typescript
• Or globally
  • [sudo] npm install -g tslint typescript

(Optional) Create a starter configuration: tslint --init

Now install the bundle:

1. Download the latest release .zip file.
2. Extract it and double-click to install in TextMate.

FAQ

• How do I get TypeScript syntax highlighting?
  • Download this zipfile from Microsoft/TypeScript-TmLanguage. Extract and double-click TypeScript.tmLanguage.
• How do I run the --fix command?
  • Call up the TextMate “Select Bundle Item” shortcut (Ctrl-Cmd-T) and search for “Fix”.
• Which version of TSLint is used?
  • Whichever version you have installed locally in your project. If you don’t have it installed locally, then whichever version was installed globally.
• Why doesn’t the validator include its own copy of TSLint?
  • Because it might be outdated or the wrong version. Best practice is to install tslint locally in your project, so that all of your developers are on the same version.
• Shouldn’t you be using Visual Studio Code?
  • If there is an “official” text editor for writing TypeScript, it would have to be VS Code. It includes rich Intellisense auto-completion and is itself written in TypeScript. But some developers prefer TextMate, and they need linting support.
