Add automatic style fixing for ng new and all generators.

[filipesilva]

With palantir/tslint#2723 merged, TS Lint will allow both quotemark and indentation auto-fix. This, together with #6213, allows generators to automatically fix such style issues in generated files.

A flag to always auto-fix should be added to .angular-cli.json to always fix on generators:

  "defaults": {
    "lintFix": true,
    "styleExt": "css",
    "component": {}
  }

To allow this functionality for new projects, the global .angular-cli.json needs to be include some style information that will be used to override tstlint and .editorconfig settings, and linting must run post install.

Related #5599, should probably be addressed in the same PR (but separate commit).

Currently blocked waiting for tslint@5.3.0 to be released.

tslint v5.3.0 has just released

#6415 is updating to the new tslint.

Meanwhile, #6213 already added lintFix to the CLI json file. It can be set on a project with ng set defaults.lintFix true.

I'm not as confident on how we should automatically do it for new projects though... #3966 requests trailing-comma as well, so it might be a slippery slope to just add some lint properties to the CLI config.

Perhaps a path to a .tslint could be provided instead, and we copy it over for new projects, then run ng lint --fix.

Doesn't do it for me when I want to specify 4 spaces per indentation level, instead of the 2 spaces generated by Angular CLI. But I guess it's a bug in tslint.

[danyg]

does this work at all? I cannot make it work, using latest angular-cli

Angular CLI: 1.6.1
Node: 6.11.3
OS: win32 x64
Angular: 5.1.1

with

"tslint": "~5.7.0",
"typescript": "~2.4.2"

With indent setting

"indent": [true, "tabs"],

and the feature lintFix to true

I've tried to also use the command ng lint --fix and does nothing, and also tried node_modules/tslint/bin/tslint --fix --project .

Tslint does not provide a fixer for the indent rule. See here for details: https://palantir.github.io/tslint/rules/

@clydin , the docs say "hasFixer".. so... ?

[tommck]

oh... but "NOTE: auto-fixing will only convert invalid indent whitespace to the desired type, it will not fix invalid whitespace sizes."

(from https://palantir.github.io/tslint/rules/indent/)

Not sure if this is the place for this, but I think it would be ab fab if before running lint --fix on the altered files, prettier was also run (if installed / configured). See also #7379 which seems to be mostly about adding prettier during ng new, as opposed to style fixing.

[tommck]

maybe just have some custom post-processor that can be run on all files?

[michahell]

ab fab

@studds 😂 after figuring out what this means to abbreviate

[lacolaco]

@filipesilva Since CLI v6, --lintFix option looks disappeared. There is no way to fix generated code automatically. Was it removed on purpose?

The following should help those using tab indentation.

Angular cli code generation currently defaults to 2 space indentation. The indent setting in tslint.json needs to be set to 2 spaces to pick up the indentation in the generated angular cli files.

// tslint.json
"indent": [
    true,
    "tabs",
    2
]

//.angular-cli.json
"defaults": {
    "lintFix": true
}

The part that I needed from the tslint rules page was

Indentation size is required for auto-fixing, but not for rule checking.
