This project is a static analysis framework and linting engine designed to inspect TypeScript codebases. It functions as a plugin suite that enables standard linting workflows to parse source code into abstract syntax trees, allowing for the automated enforcement of coding standards and the identification of potential bugs through a modular, rule-based visitor pattern.
The engine distinguishes itself by integrating directly with the TypeScript compiler to perform type-aware analysis. By accessing compiler type information, it can identify complex errors and unsafe patterns that standard syntax-only tools cannot detect. It also provides bridge-based compatibility, replacing or extending core linting rules to ensure that modern language features are inspected accurately without causing crashes or false reports.
Beyond basic linting, the project offers comprehensive capabilities for maintaining codebase integrity. It includes security-focused mechanisms to restrict unsafe type usage, govern the use of suppression directives, and enforce strict type definitions. These tools are supported by configuration-driven project discovery, which automatically maps settings to analysis rules to simplify setup across complex monorepos and multi-project environments.
