A CLI tool to check type coverage for typescript code
This tool will check type of all identifiers, the type coverage rate
= the count of identifiers whose type is not any
/ the total count of identifiers
, the higher, the better.
any
by running in CI.yarn global add type-coverage typescript
run type-coverage

, --project
string? tell the CLI where is the tsconfig.json
(Added in v1.0
) --detail
boolean? show detail(Added in v1.0
) --at-least
number? fail if coverage rate < this value(Added in v1.0
) --debug
boolean? show debug info(Added in v1.0
) --suppressError
boolean? process exit 0 even failed or errored --strict
boolean? strict mode(Added in v1.7
) --ignore-catch
boolean? ignore catch(Added in v1.13
) --cache
boolean? enable cache(Added in v1.10
) --ignore-files
string[]? ignore files(Added in v1.14
) -h
, --help
boolean? show help(Added in v2.5
) --is
number? fail if coverage rate !== this value(Added in v2.6
) --update
boolean? if "typeCoverage" section in package.json is present update its "atLeast" or "is" value (Added in v2.6
) --update-if-higher
boolean? update "typeCoverage" in package.json to current result if new type coverage is higher(Added in v2.20
) --ignore-unread
boolean? allow writes to variables with implicit any types(Added in v2.14
) --ignore-nested
boolean? ignore any in type arguments, eg: Promise<any>
(Added in v2.16
) --ignore-as-assertion
boolean? ignore as assertion, eg: foo as string
(Added in v2.16
) --ignore-type-assertion
boolean? ignore type assertion, eg: <string>foo
(Added in v2.16
) --ignore-non-null-assertion
boolean? ignore non-null assertion, eg: foo!
(Added in v2.16
) --ignore-object
boolean? Object
type not counted as any, eg: foo: Object
(Added in v2.21
) --ignore-empty-type
boolean? empty type not counted as any, eg: foo: {}
(Added in v2.21
) --show-relative-path
boolean? show relative path in detail message(Added in v2.17
) --history-file
string? file name where history is saved(Added in v2.18
) --no-detail-when-failed
boolean? not show detail message when the CLI failed(Added in v2.19
)(Use --no-detail-when-failed=true
to enable it #113) --report-semantic-error
boolean? report typescript semantic error(Added in v2.22
) -- file1.ts file2.ts ...
string[]? only checks these files, useful for usage with tools like lint-staged
(Added in v2.23
) --cache-directory
string? set cache directory(Added in v2.24
) --not-only-in-cwd
boolean? include results outside current working directory(Added in v2.26
) --json-output
boolean? output results as JSON(Added in v2.27
) --report-unused-ignore
boolean? report unused ignore line directives, enabled if --strict
(Added in v2.28
)
If the identifiers' type arguments exist and contain at least one any
, like any[]
, ReadonlyArray<any>
, Promise<any>
, Foo<number, any>
, it will be considered as any
too(Added in v1.7
)
Type assertion, like foo as string
, foo!
, <string>foo
will be considered as uncovered, exclude foo as const
, <const>foo
, foo as unknown
(Added in v2.8
), and other safe type assertion powered by isTypeAssignableTo
(Added in v2.9
)
Object type(like foo: Object
) and empty type(like foo: {}
) will be considered as any(Added in v2.21
)
Strict mode enables --report-unused-ignore
by default.
Also, future minor release may introduce stricter type check in this mode, which may lower the type coverage rate
save and reuse type check result of files that is unchanged and independent of changed files in .type-coverage
directory(or set by --cache-directory
), to improve speed
If you want to get 100% type coverage then try {} catch {}
is the largest blocked towards that.
This can be fixed in typescript with Allow type annotation on catch clause variable but until then you can turn on --ignore-catch --at-least 100
.
Your catch blocks should look like
try { await ... } catch (anyErr) { const err = <Error> anyErr }
To have the highest type coverage.
This tool will ignore the files, eg: --ignore-files "demo1/*.ts" --ignore-files "demo2/foo.ts"
"typeCoverage": { "atLeast": 99, // same as --at-least (Added in `v1.4`) "is": 99, // same as --is (Added in `v2.6`) "cache": true, // same as --cache (Added in `v2.11`) "debug": true, // same as --debug (Added in `v2.11`) "detail": true, // same as --detail (Added in `v2.11`) "ignoreCatch": true, // same as --ignore-catch (Added in `v2.11`) "ignoreFiles": ["demo1/*.ts", "demo2/foo.ts"], // same as --ignore-files "demo1/*.ts" --ignore-files "demo2/foo.ts" (Added in `v2.11`) "project": "tsconfig.json", // same as --project tsconfig.json or -p tsconfig.json (Added in `v2.11`) "strict": true, // same as --strict (Added in `v2.11`) "suppressError": true, // same as --suppressError (Added in `v2.11`) "update": true, // same as --update (Added in `v2.11`) "updateIfHigher": true, // same as --update-if-higher (Added in `v2.20`) "ignoreUnread": true, // same as --ignore-unread (Added in `v2.14`) "ignoreNested": true, // same as --ignore-nested (Added in `v2.16`) "ignoreAsAssertion": true, // same as --ignore-as-assertion (Added in `v2.16`) "ignoreTypeAssertion": true, // same as --ignore-type-assertion (Added in `v2.16`) "ignoreNonNullAssertion": true, // same as --ignore-non-null-assertion (Added in `v2.16`) "ignoreObject": true, // same as --ignore-object(Added in `v2.21`) "ignoreEmptyType": true, // same as --ignore-empty-type(Added in `v2.21`) "showRelativePath": true, // same as --show-relative-path (Added in `v2.17`) "historyFile": "typecoverage.json", // same as --history-file (Added in `v2.18`) "noDetailWhenFailed": true, // same as --no-detail-when-failed (Added in `v2.19`) "reportSemanticError": true, // same as --report-semantic-error (Added in `v2.22`) "cacheDirectory": "custom-directory", // same as --cache-directory (Added in `v2.24`) "notOnlyInCWD": true, // same as --not-only-in-cwd (Added in `v2.26`) "jsonOutput": true, // same as --json-output (Added in `v2.27`) "reportUnusedIgnore": true, // same as --report-unused-ignore (Added in `v2.28`) },
Use type-coverage:ignore-next-line
or type-coverage:ignore-line
in comment(//
or /* */
) to ignore any
in a line.(Added in v1.9
)
try { // type-coverage:ignore-next-line } catch (error) { // type-coverage:ignore-line }
The --report-unused-ignore
or --strict
can report unused ignore line directives.(Added in v2.28
)
// type-coverage:ignore-next-line const a = 1 // <- this line is marked to ignore `any`, but there is no `any` here now.migrate to stricter typescript
Create a new tsconfig file(eg: tconfig.type-coverage.json
) with stricter config, that extends from tsc
's tsconfig.json
{ "extends": "./tsconfig.json", "compilerOptions": { "strict": true } }
Run type-coverage -p ./tconfig.type-coverage.json --report-semantic-error
, tsc semantic errors will be reported by type-coverage
.
When all tsc semantic errors are resolved, merge the two tsconfig
s.

Using codechecks you can integrate type-coverage
with GitHub's Pull Requests. See type-coverage-watcher.
Using typescript-coverage-report you can generate typescript coverage report.

v2.12
)
yarn add ts-plugin-type-coverage -D
{ "compilerOptions": { "plugins": [ { "name": "ts-plugin-type-coverage", "strict": true, // for all configurations, see LintOptions above "ignoreCatch": true, } ] } }
For VSCode users, choose "Use Workspace Version", See https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Writing-a-Language-Service-Plugin#testing-locally, or just use the wrapped plugin below.
VSCode plugin(Added inv2.13
)
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=york-yao.vscode-type-coverage
Configuration is in Preferences
- Settings
- Extensions
- Type Coverage
If the result from the vscode plugin is different from the result from the CLI, maybe your project root directory's tsconfig.json
is different from your CLI tsconfig.json
If the plugin does not work, you may see some workarounds:
Q: Does this count JavaScript files?
Yes, This package calls Typescript API, Typescript can parse Javascript file(with allowJs
), then this package can too.
Q: How to disable color in output?
Set the environment variable FORCE_COLOR=0
or use --no-color
option, see chalk documentation for details.
