bitHound vs TSLint: What are the differences?
What is bitHound? Continuous analysis for Node.js projects. Identify risks and priorities in your dependencies and code. With faster deployment cycles, a hundred competing priorities and tight deadlines to juggle– your team has a lot on their plate. Uncover and focus on the critical issues impacting your team, avoid software pitfalls and ship with confidence.
What is TSLint? An extensible linter for the TypeScript language. An extensible static analysis tool that checks TypeScript code for readability, maintainability, and functionality errors. It is widely supported across modern editors & build systems and can be customized with your own lint rules, configurations, and formatters.
bitHound and TSLint can be categorized as "Code Review" tools.
Some of the features offered by bitHound are:
- Do you know when your third party dependencies are at risk? bitHound gives you insight into the insecure, deprecated, outdated and unused packages impacting your software.
- We analyze your code to help your team determine where focus is needed. Understand the mechanical issues impacting your codebase, reduce complexity and clutter, and gain insights that go beyond the command line with bitHound.
- Whether it's formal issue management or the team's pending tech debt, it's important to get on top of these issues. bitHound offers an improved understanding of how the team is performing together and whether or not items are being left behind.
On the other hand, TSLint provides the following key features:
- Extensive set of core rules
- Custom lint rules
- Custom formatters (failure reporters)
