How to rewrite code to avoid TSLint "object access via string literals"
You can get rid of the rule. Look for tslint.json
, the add a property "no-string-literal"
with false
, in rules
::
{
"rules": {
"no-string-literal": false,
... other rules ...
You have a couple options here:
1) Just disable the rule
/* tslint:disable:no-string-literal */
whatever.codeHere()
/* tslint:enable:no-string-literal */
2) Use a variable instead of a string literal
// instead of
fields['ECStruct1'] = ...
// do something like
let key = 'ECStruct1';
fields[key] = ...
3) Write/Generate an explicit interface
See MartylX's answer above. Essentially:
interface ECFieldList {
ECStruct1: ECType[];
}
export var fields:ECFieldList = {
ECStruct1: [
...
Any of these are reasonable solutions, although I'm not as much of a fan of #2 because it's mangling up your code for no good reason. If you're generating code anyways, perhaps generating a type for fields
as in #3 is a good solution.
Just use template literal annotation.
fields[`ECStruct1`]
