How can I disable all typescript type checking?

Question

I would like to use TypeScript in the future, but for right now, I have chosen to install TypeScript in Create React App. (Later, I will go back and add types)

Therefore, I would like to disable all type checks.

Right now, when I do something like this:

<PlaceSearchBar     placeSearchChanged={this.placeSearchChanged} />   class PlaceSearchBar extends React.Component { ... } 

I get an error:

Type error: Type '{ placeSearchChanged: (place: any) => void; }' is not assignable to type 'IntrinsicAttributes & IntrinsicClassAttributes<PlaceSearchBar> & Readonly<{ children?: ReactNode; }> & Readonly<{}>'.   Property 'placeSearchChanged' does not exist on type 'IntrinsicAttributes & IntrinsicClassAttributes<PlaceSearchBar> & Readonly<{ children?: ReactNode; }> & Readonly<{}>'.  TS2322 

Apparently I need to declare types in React.Component<placeSearchChanged:function> or something of that sort.

I think it's annoying, and I would like to disable all checks in my tsconfig.json.

How can I disable all checks (but still keep TypeScript installed, just for future-proof)?

This is my current tsconfig.json:

{   "compilerOptions": {     "target": "es6",     "lib": [       "dom",       "dom.iterable",       "esnext",     ],     "allowJs": true,     "skipLibCheck": true,     "esModuleInterop": true,     "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,     "strict": false,     "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,     "module": "esnext",     "moduleResolution": "node",     "resolveJsonModule": true,     "isolatedModules": true,     "noEmit": true,     "jsx": "preserve",     "noImplicitAny": false,   },   "include": [     "src"   ] } 

Answer 1

Add this to your tsconfig.json:

{   "compilerOptions": {     ...     "checkJs": false     ...   } } 

and stick to .js/.jsx files for now. Use the .ts/.tsx extension only when you're ready to use types.

If you would rather suppress the errors on a per-line basis, you can use a // @ts-ignore comment.

Answer 2

Typescript without types is Javascript. Start your project without Typescript and convert it when you are ready to do so. Beginning with <any> is not a good practice and makes no sense in my opinion.
