allow typescript compilation with no unused variable rule

Question

I'm using these rules in tsconfig in order to highlight unused variables and imports in vscode.

 "noUnusedLocals": true,                /* Report errors on unused locals. */

 "noUnusedParameters": true,            /* Report errors on unused parameters. */

However I would like these rules not to block compilation. Is that possible ?

Answer 1

You can mark them as false. So the unused variables appear as warnings. Then when you fix that you can set those variables to true

Answer 2

Typescript will never block the compilation, as long as the syntax is valid. What you see are just "warnings", your javascript files are emitted.

Not true. Here's what I'm getting in a TSX file: Failed to compile. TS6133: 'e' is declared but its value is never read. – Philemol

Can you give a proper example? – Cyder
