typescript - When formatting TypeScript in visual studio code, a cast generates tslint whitespace warning

Question

For example, when I have the following TypeScript code const bar = <foo>{ answer: 42 } tslint issues a warning 'missing whitespace' between > and {. So, to fix it, I have to write: const bar = <foo> { answer: 42 } However, every time I format my file in vs code (SHIFT+ALT+F), my formatting is reset to the version at the top, causing a new tslint issue. As I cannot change the formatting rules in vs code, do I need to add a rule to tslint or editorconfig?

Answer 1

You could change the tslint.json and edit whitespace rule in your project. Your example looks like the check-typecast setting.

"check-typecast" checks for whitespace between a typecast and its target.

As suggested override your rule set with:

"whitespace": [true, "check-branch", "check-decl", "check-operator", "check-separator", "check-type" ]

Answer 2

  "typedef-whitespace": [
  true,
  {
    "call-signature": "nospace",
    "index-signature": "nospace",
    "parameter": "nospace",
    "property-declaration": "nospace",
    "variable-declaration": "nospace"
  },
  {
    "call-signature": "onespace",
    "index-signature": "onespace",
    "parameter": "onespace",
    "property-declaration": "onespace",
    "variable-declaration": "onespace"
  }
