Enforces the use of as Type assertions instead of assertions (no-angle-bracket-type-assertion)

December 18, 2018 ยท View on GitHub

TypeScript disallows the use of <Type> assertions in .tsx because of the similarity with
JSX's syntax, which makes it impossible to parse.

Rule Details

This rule aims to standardise the use of type assertion style across the codebase

The following patterns are considered warnings:

const foo = <Foo>bar;

The following patterns are not warnings:

const foo = bar as Foo;

When Not To Use It

If your codebase does not include .tsx files, then you will not need this rule.
