typescript-eslint VS ts-node

Typescript-eslint can assist in this task. This tool helps identify all instances of unsafe any usage. Specifically, all usages of JSON.parse can be found and it can be ensured that the received data's format is checked. More about getting rid of the any type in a codebase can be read in the article Making TypeScript Truly "Strongly Typed".

> Only lint files that have changed? How hard that is?

Quite hard, especially since type-aware rules from e.g. https://typescript-eslint.io/ mean that changing the type of a variable in file A can break your code in file B, even if file B hasn't changed.

The article only touches this: when converting to TypeScript, `any` is useful, but in the end you don't want this type in your codebase - so don't forget to use typescript-eslint [0] and turn on those no-unsafe-* rules which guard against `any` leaking into your code.

By convention, React components should be named in PascalCase. @typescript-eslint has the config we need, and though we can't specifically target React components, we can target variables (and set some other conventions while we're at it):

I thought this was going to be a project like ts-node [1]

The command specified in the app option uses ts-node by default, which is an execution engine for Node.js that allows you to run TypeScript code directly. The --prefer-ts-exts flag prevents ts-node from prioritizing precompiled .js files and will always import the TypeScript source code instead, if it is available. This is useful if you are also using tsc (the TypeScript compiler) alongside the app option. The bin/cdk.ts file is the entry point for our CDK app, which defines the main function that will be executed when the app is run.

If you want to write apps that run on Node.js I would suggest using Google’s TypeScript style guide. You can start using it by simply running npx gts init. I’d suggest that you start with this and run your apps using ts-node/ts-node-dev because it does not require an extra build step.

ts-node (“TypeScript execution and REPL for Node.js”)

Here is a relevant discussion and dev comment: https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node/issues/155

It does support ESM, with a --loader[1], but even with its SWC option it’s still significantly slower than the esbuild loader I’m working on. Unfortunately, esbuild isn’t totally compatible with tsc, so it’s not a drop-in replacement without plugins.

The process of compiling TypeScript source files into JavaScript code before executing them with Node.js can get a little tedious after a while, especially during development. You can eliminate the intermediate steps before running the program through the ts-node CLI to execute .ts files directly. Go ahead and install the ts-node package using the command below:

I tried suggested solution by https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node/issues/1007 but this causes problem with NestJS decorators:
