| 9 | +## Description |
| 10 | +This repository offers some [tslint](https://github.com/palantir/tslint) rules useful for angular projects, see [Rules](#Rules). |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Installation / Usage |
| 13 | +* Install the [@angular-extensions/lint-rules](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@angular-extensions/lint-rules) npm package: |
| 14 | + ``` |
| 15 | + npm install @angular-extensions/lint-rules --save-dev |
| 16 | + ``` |
| 17 | +* Add `@angular-extensions/lint-rules` to the `extensions` list in your `tslint.json`: |
| 18 | + ```json |
| 19 | + { |
| 20 | + "extends": [ |
| 21 | + "tslint:recommended", |
| 22 | + "@angular-extensions/lint-rules" |
| 23 | + ] |
| 24 | + } |
| 25 | + ``` |
| 26 | +* Lint your project with |
| 27 | + ``` |
| 28 | + ng lint |
| 29 | + ``` |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +## Rules |
| 32 | +The package includes the following rules: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +| Rule | Description | Details | Enabled by default? | |
| 35 | +| --- | --- | --- | --- | |
| 36 | +| `angular-call-super-lifecycle-method-in-extended-class` | Enforces the application to call parent lifecycle function e.g. `super.ngOnDestroy()` when using inheritance within an Angular component or directive. | [Details](#angular-call-super-lifecycle-method-in-extended-class) | yes | |
| 37 | +| `angular-rxjs-takeuntil-before-subscribe` | Enforces the application of the `takeUntil` operator when calling of `subscribe` within an Angular component or directive. | [Details](#angular-rxjs-takeuntil-before-subscribe) | yes | |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +### angular-call-super-lifecycle-method-in-extended-class |
| 40 | +This rule tries to avoid memory leaks and other problems in angular components and directives by ensuring that |
| 41 | +a [life-cycle method](https://angular.io/guide/lifecycle-hooks), e.g. `ngOnDestroy(){}`, overriding its parent implementation |
| 42 | +must call the parent implementation with `super.ngOnDestroy()`. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +#### Example |
| 45 | +This should trigger an error: |
| 46 | +```typescript |
| 47 | +class MyClass { |
| 48 | + ngOnDestroy() { |
| 49 | + const a = 5; |
| 50 | + } |
| 51 | +} |
| 52 | +@Component({ |
| 53 | + selector: 'app-my' |
| 54 | +}) |
| 55 | +class MyComponent2 extends MyClass { |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | + ngOnDestroy() { |
| 58 | + ~~~~~~~~~~~ call to super.ngOnDestroy() is missing |
| 59 | + const b = 6; |
| 60 | + } |
| 61 | +} |
| 62 | +``` |
| 63 | +while this should be fine: |
| 64 | +```typescript |
| 65 | +class MyClass { |
| 66 | + ngOnDestroy() { |
| 67 | + const a = 5; |
| 68 | + } |
| 69 | +} |
| 70 | +@Component({ |
| 71 | + selector: 'app-my' |
| 72 | +}) |
| 73 | +class MyComponent extends MyClass { |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | + ngOnDestroy() { |
| 76 | + super.ngOnDestroy(); |
| 77 | + const b = 6; |
| 78 | + } |
| 79 | +} |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +@Component({ |
| 82 | + selector: 'app-my2' |
| 83 | +}) |
| 84 | +class MyComponent2 { |
| 85 | + ngOnDestroy() { |
| 86 | + const b = 6; |
| 87 | + } |
| 88 | +} |
| 89 | +``` |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +### angular-rxjs-takeuntil-before-subscribe |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +This rule tries to avoid memory leaks in angular components and directives when calling `.subscribe()` without properly unsubscribing |
| 95 | +by enforcing the application of the `takeUntil(this.destroy$)` operator before the `.subscribe()` |
| 96 | +as well as before certain operators (`shareReplay` without `refCount: true`) |
| 97 | +and ensuring the component implements the `ngOnDestroy` |
| 98 | +method invoking `this.destroy$.next()` and `this.destroy$.complete()`. |
| 99 | +All classes with a `@Component` or `@Directive` decorator and all their parent classes will be checked. |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +#### Example |
| 102 | +This should trigger an error: |
| 103 | +```typescript |
| 104 | +@Component({ |
| 105 | + selector: 'app-my', |
| 106 | + template: '<div>{{k$ | async}}</div>' |
| 107 | +}) |
| 108 | +class MyComponent { |
| 109 | + ~~~~~~~~~~~ component containing subscribe must implement the ngOnDestroy() method |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | + k$ = a.pipe(shareReplay(1)); |
| 113 | + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the shareReplay operator used within a component must be preceded by takeUntil |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | + someMethod() { |
| 116 | + const e = a.pipe(switchMap(_ => b)).subscribe(); |
| 117 | + ~~~~~~~~~ subscribe within a component must be preceded by takeUntil |
| 118 | + } |
| 119 | +} |
| 120 | +``` |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +while this should be fine: |
| 123 | +```typescript |
| 124 | +@Component({ |
| 125 | + selector: 'app-my', |
| 126 | + template: '<div>{{k$ | async}}</div>' |
| 127 | +}) |
| 128 | +class MyComponent implements SomeInterface, OnDestroy { |
| 129 | + private destroy$: Subject<void> = new Subject<void>(); |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | + k$ = a.pipe(takeUntil(this.destroy$), shareReplay(1)); |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | + someMethod() { |
| 134 | + const e = a.pipe(switchMap(_ => b), takeUntil(this.destroy$)).subscribe(); |
| 135 | + } |
| 136 | + |
| 137 | + ngOnDestroy() { |
| 138 | + this.destroy$.next(); |
| 139 | + this.destroy$.complete(); |
| 140 | + } |
| 141 | +} |
| 142 | +``` |

| 154 | +Note: this project is based on work in https://github.com/cartant/rxjs-tslint-rules/pull/107 |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +## Development |
| 157 | +Clone the repository and install the dependencies with `npm install`. |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +Note: using the build artifacts with `npm link` does not work correctly, |
| 160 | +since there will be a mismatch between the typescript version used by the consumer code |
| 161 | +and the typescript version used by the lint rules code. |
| 162 | +To test the package in a project, run |
| 163 | +``` |
| 164 | +npm run build |
| 165 | +cd dist |
| 166 | +npm install --production |
| 167 | +``` |
| 168 | +Then copy the content of the `/dist` folder (including the `node_modules` folder) into `node_modules/@angular-extensions/lint-rules` |
| 169 | +in the consumer project. |
| 170 | + |
| 171 | +### Publish |
| 172 | +To publish the package, run |
| 173 | +``` |
| 174 | +npm run publish-package |
| 175 | +``` |
