Ale: Check TypeScript files with eslint

[sodiumjoe]

I'm trying to use this, which works fine in my project when using eslint from the command line, but I can't get ale to use eslint for typescript.

I've tried:

let g:ale_linters = {
\   'typescript': ['eslint', 'tsserver', 'typecheck'],
\}

let g:ale_linter_aliases = {'js': 'ts'}

let g:ale_linter_aliases = {'ts': 'js'}

and

let g:ale_typescript_tslint_executable = 'eslint'

I imagine eslint needs to be added as one of the available linters for typescript.

I plan on making eslint run for TypeScript files by default. I reckon typescript-eslint-parser is good enough now.

Now eslint is supported for checking and fixing TypeScript code. The TypeScript parser plugin will be required for most projects, and whenever a parsing error is hit, it gives you a hint about using it. eslint for TypeScript uses the JavaScript settings, and the documentation mentions this.

@w0rp It's cool that you added eslint TypeScript support, but I have no idea how to make it work. All I get is the cryptic error message "Parsing error (You may need configure typescript-eslint-parser)". It doesn't tell me how to configure it, or where, or _what_ I need to configure. All it tells me is that stuff is broken.

See the instructions for the parser here: https://github.com/eslint/typescript-eslint-parser

It's among the first results in Google.
