Use @tsconfig/strictest for tsconfig.json
- Published on
Fully utilizing TypeScript features for strict coding contributes to building a reliable system.
I recommend using the strictest.json found in the tsconfig/bases.
The content of the strictest.json is below:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"strict": true,
"allowUnusedLabels": false,
"allowUnreachableCode": false,
"exactOptionalPropertyTypes": true,
"noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true,
"noImplicitOverride": true,
"noImplicitReturns": true,
"noPropertyAccessFromIndexSignature": true,
"noUncheckedIndexedAccess": true,
"noUnusedLocals": true,
"noUnusedParameters": true,
"isolatedModules": true,
"checkJs": true,
"esModuleInterop": true,
"skipLibCheck": true,
"forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true
},
"$schema": "https://json.schemastore.org/tsconfig",
"display": "Strictest",
"_version": "2.0.0"
}
You can use that by running the following command (see README.md):
npm install --save-dev @tsconfig/strictest
And add your tsconfig.json
:
{
"extends": "@tsconfig/strictest/tsconfig.json"
}
Setting up tsconfig.json appropriately should be done before using linters such as typescript-eslint or biome. By enforcing stricter rules for coding in TypeScript, we elevate the standard level of safety consciousness within the team.
