Code Inspections in TypeScript

In TypeScript, ReSharper 2017.1 provides two kinds of code inspections: 137 inspections that detect errors such as broken syntax, unresolved symbols, compiler errors, etc. (you cannot configure or disable any of these inspections), and 48 proprietary code inspections, any of which you can disable or change its severity level.
These code inspections help you detect code issues in design time in all open files, and additionally they allow you to find code issues in specific scope.

Configurable TypeScript inspections are listed below, grouped in the following categories:

Code Style (5 inspections)

Inspections in this category detect violations of code style rules. In contrast to the rest of code inspections, these inspections can either detect the same code construct as a code issue or not depending on the corresponding code style rule configured in the Code Editing | [Language] | Code Style pages of ReSharper options. You can also fix issues that these inspection detect, using code cleanup. For more information, see Code Style and Cleanup.
InspectionDefault Severity
Element has implicit 'any' type Warning
Non-compliant path style inside 'require' Hint
Non-compliant 'public' modifier or its absense Hint
Type of variable may be specified explicitly Hint
Type specification is redundant, because variable type is contextually determined from the type of assigned value Hint

Common Practices and Code Improvements (4 inspections)

This category groups inspections that hunt for medium severity issues that mainly affect code readability.
InspectionDefault Severity
Constructor of an abstract class can be made protected Hint
Introducing variable will allow to apply type guard Hint
Private class field can be made readonly Hint
String literal usage allows to create specialized overload Hint

Language Usage Opportunities (9 inspections)

This category includes code inspections, mostly with the suggestion severity level, which notify you when more advanced language constructs can be used. These inspections detect syntax of outdated language versions and suggest using features from more modern language versions. For most of the supported languages, language version can be detected automatically or set manually.
InspectionDefault Severity
AMD module may be converted to external module Suggestion
Class emulation may be converted to class Suggestion
CommonJs module may be converted to external module Suggestion
Function expression may be converted to lambda expression Suggestion
Immediately-invoked function expression may be converted to internal module Suggestion
Invocation of parent class may be converted to super call Suggestion
Member assigned by a function may be converted to function member Suggestion
Possible overloads may be inferred by function body Hint
Use 'as' operator instead of type assertion Hint

Potential Code Quality Issues (15 inspections)

This category includes inspections that detect critical issues (code smells), mostly with Error or Warning level. This category also includes inspections that ensure localization assistance.
InspectionDefault Severity
Cannot resolve, probably symbol is located in inaccessible module Error
Check 'amd-dependency' the same way as require() argument Disabled
Duplicate identifier Error
Empty return value for type-annotated function Warning
Exported entity uses a private entity Error
'Implicit any' inspection when NoImplicitAny is set Error
More specific signature follows less specific Warning
Overload is less specific than the main signature Warning
Parameter-property value assigned inside constructor won't be assigned to class property Warning
Suspicious 'instanceof' check Warning
Suspicious 'this' usage in context of local function inside class member Warning
Suspicious 'typeof' check Warning
Type parameter hides type parameter declared in outer scope Warning
Use of possibly unassigned property in a static initializer Warning
Use of undeclared variable Error

Redundancies in Code (9 inspections)

Code inspections in this category look for redundancies and dead code, which affect code readability and style, and could be safely removed. Some code redundancies cannot be fixed automatically, and quick-fixes for them are performed in the interactive mode, requiring the user input. But the majority of the redundancies can be fixed without user interaction, using either fix in scope or code cleanup.
InspectionDefault Severity
Comparison of boolean with boolean value is equivalent to value or negated value Warning
Double negation of boolean is redundant Warning
Duplicate reference comment is redundant Warning
Redundant parent type specification in extends/implements Warning
Redundant qualifier Warning
Reference comment creates cyclic dependency Disabled
Ternary operator may be replaced by it's condition Warning
Type cast is redundant: expression is always of provided type Warning
Type cast is redundant: expression is of a structurally compatible type Warning

Redundancies in Symbol Declarations (6 inspections)

This category includes code inspections, mostly with the warning severity level, which detect empty and unused symbol declarations.
InspectionDefault Severity
Parameter doesn't participate in the main signature Warning
Redundant empty constructor without parameters Warning
Same item is imported twice with different names Warning
Type guard definitely produces 'never' type for the variable Warning
Type guard doesn't affect variable's type in any way Warning
Unused local import Warning
