How to ignore semicolons with "tslint:recomended"

Question

I want my tslint to ignore semicolons.

I would like to keep the rule "extends": "tslint:recommended". Right now, I just can´t follow this rule, which forces me to use semicolon always, or use this other one "semicolon": [true, "never"], which forces me to delete all semicolons. I just want to ignore them. I can do it by deleting the "extends": "tslint:recommended" but I would like to keep this rule and just ignore semicolons.

tslint documentation just gives the option to keep them always or delete always, but not ignore them.

Can someone help me?

As in the previous response, you can suppress tslint for a file or the next line. But if you want to edit the rules for your entire directory, check the tslint.json file, this is your global configuration for the project you're on.

You could probably find this file in the root folder of your app. If not, try pressing cmd + P (mac) or ctrl + P (windows) and enter tslint.json.

Once you're there, add this entry to the rules list:

{
  ...
  "rules": {
    ...
    "semicolon":false
  }
}

Hope it helps!
