  • At some point in tslint the no-unused-variable rule has been deprecated in favor of noUnusedLocals and noUnusedParameters. Since we don't want to have compilation errors for unused variables we re-implemented the no-unused-variable rule ourself and used it as a custom rule.

  • Recently we switched to a newer version of TSLint and TypeScript and the custom tslint rule won't ever work again. (tslint now requires a type-checker to be enabled). The custom rule fails currently and causes TSLint to not work with some editors (e.g Webstorm).

* At some point in tslint the `no-unused-variable` rule has been deprecated in favor of `noUnusedLocals` and `noUnusedParameters`. Since we don't want to have compilation errors for unused variables we re-implemented the `no-unused-variable` rule ourself and used it as a custom rule.

* Recently we switched to a newer version of TSLint and TypeScript and the custom tslint rule won't ever work again. (tslint now requires a type-checker to be enabled). The custom rule fails currently and causes TSLint to not work with some editors (e.g Webstorm).
