how to skip typescript's noImplicitAny=true rule on node modules packages?

Question

I'm building angular 2 app using Typescript 2 and Webpack 2. As a loader I use awesome-typescript-loader. I set noImplicitAny = true in tsconfig.json. But some of npm packages I used implicitly has an 'any' type. (e.g. angular2-platform-node). So I want to skip that rule only on npm packages but not on my app source. How can I configure for that?

Answer 1

You can skip type checking for all declaration files with skipLibCheck compiler option (added in typescript 2.0)

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "noImplicitAny": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    ...
}
