How to ignore/exclude some files/directory from linting in angular cli


Similar to this question

I am running the following command to linting my angular2 typeScript code.

ng lint

It is proving all the linting error nicely.

But I want my vendor folder (let say "src/app/quote/services/generated/**/*") should not get included at the time of lining.

I know this can be done with tslint command as follows (Reference Here)

tslint \"src/**/*.ts\" -e \"**/__test__/**\"

But in angular cli what will be the parameter? How to exclude some files from tslint?

Note: My Angular Cli version is : @angular/cli: 1.0.0-rc.0


Solution

  • From Angular6+, .angular-cli.json has been replaced by angular.json, but you can still add the exclude path in its lint part.

    "lint": {
          "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:tslint",
          "options": {
            "tsConfig": [
              "src/tsconfig.app.json",
              "src/tsconfig.spec.json"
            ],
            "exclude": [
              "**/node_modules/**"      // excluded directories
            ]
          }
        }
    

    According to the angular-cli issue#5063, you can add the exclude path in .angular-cli.json like this:

    "lint": [
    {
      "project": "src/tsconfig.app.json",
      "exclude": "**/node_modules/**/*"   // the node_modules for example
    }]
