Recategorization of TypeScript and Angular rules

After adding support to TypeScript, it was not clear for many users that TypeScript support was embedded within JavaScript.

...

  • All existing JavaScript rules are able to distinguish between JavaScript  and TypeScript source code, acting accordingly.
  • Nevertheless, there are some rules specific to TypeScript (filter : Framework -> TypeScript )

Besides, Angular rules have been cathegorized according to Angular versions:

  • Angular versions previous to 2.x : filter : Framework -> AngularJS
  • Angular versions equal or above 2.x  : filter : Framework -> Angular

 

Kiuwan Website

New Passwords Policy

...

You can set your acccount's password policy at Account Management >> Password Policies tab (only available to account owner)
