Ale: TSLint not available for ALE

[mathiajusth]

I'd like to use tslint, i have it installed (npm i -g tslint) and I have tslint.json with rules in my project root folder), but it's not amongst available linters. I am unable to find any advice on this topic. Could you tell me what I need to do?

Thanks

You opened a JS file, and TSLint is for TypeScript code.

TSLint doesn't properly support support on-the-fly checking at the moment. See #925. I currently recommend installing tslint as a tsserver plugin instead. See here: https://github.com/angelozerr/tslint-language-service

See this FAQ entry for using linters from one language for another language: https://github.com/w0rp/ale#5xii-how-can-i-check-jsx-files-with-both-stylelint-and-eslint See also :help g:ale_linter_aliases. That's if you do want to use some TS linters for JS.
