Typescript is one of the best things that have happened in JavaScript world. It is a solid tool that checks for errors before they have happened. But sometimes we want to turn it off for some code.
There are several ways to ignore code in typescript:
Ignore code line with @ts-ignore
rule:
this will ignore the code that is one line below
// @ts-ignore
const myAge : number = "25" // no typescript error
const isTrue : boolean = 4; // error
Usually this would throw an error about variable myAge not being type of number, but with @ts-ignore
this error will be ignored.
Ignore code block with @ts-nocheck
:
// @ts-nocheck
const myAge : number = "25" // no error
const isTrue : boolean = 4; // no error
🚨🚨@ts-nocheck
will ignore the file, so if you want to ignore typescript checking on one function put it in separate file🚨🚨
This typescript rule should be used at the top of the file and it will ignore all code in the file.
**Typescript is meant to be helpful and allows us to write more robust, better structured code. Also it helps us to catch errors early, so use @ts-ignore
and @ts-nocheck
rules with caution.
