We have been searching for good tools for measuring the quality of our TypeScript code. Mainly, we are interested in measuring Cyclomatic Complexity, LCOM, Instability and similar metrics. A tool for visualizing dependencies between modules would also be nice.

A sort of "NDepend for typescript" would be great - but we haven't been able to find anything like it...

Can anyone point us in the direction of any tools that provide some such functionality?

Similar to JSHint (mentioned by Steve) for TypeScript there is TSLint https://github.com/palantir/tslint (with a grunt plugin https://github.com/palantir/grunt-tslint)

The roles aren't that complex to create yourself based on TypeScript language service ASTWalker mechanism e.g. Indent rule : https://github.com/palantir/tslint/blob/master/src/rules/indentRule.ts
