Overview

@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin comes with two rulesets you can extend from to pull in the recommended starting rules:

• 'plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended': recommended rules for code correctness that you can drop in without additional configuration. See Linting for more details.
• 'plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended-requiring-type-checking' additional recommended rules that require type information. See Linting for more details.

Extension Rules

In some cases, ESLint provides a rule itself, but it doesn't support TypeScript syntax; either it crashes, or it ignores the syntax, or it falsely reports against it. In these cases, we create what we call an extension rule; a rule within our plugin that has the same functionality, but also supports TypeScript.
