GitHub Action
Run tsc with reviewdog
This GitHub Action runs tsc with reviewdog to improve code checking and review experience for TypeScript-based modules. 🐶
The action will first run tsc, then passing the compiler's output to reviewdog for further processing. Reviewdog will then provide a GitHub check either with code annotations as displayed above or with a Pull Request review, depending on the action configuration.
For full documentation regarding reviewdog, its features and configuration options, please visit the reviewdog repository.
