Export TestHelper in npm package

[ipip2005]

This is not actually an issue.

The TestHelper.ts file under tests folder is really useful, can it be exported so we can use it in our project?

[HamletDRC]

I can, but...

• it depends on fs from node (so it does not work in the browser)
• it assumes all files are utf-8 encoded (so you'd better have the correct encoding on your files)
• it would mean exporting the d.ts file

Do you really want it exported?

Also, feel free to submit your rules here as a feature request!

[ipip2005]

Yes, it would be helpful, I would use this file to test my customized rules.
One problem is the rulesDirectroy and formatterDirectory is hard coded, I can only use it if I can specify this option.
And thanks for your offer, I just started working on some react-accessibility rules, waiting for more feedbacks from our project team.

OK, I will export this class. I am also working on some React accessibility rules. I would very much like to hear your ideas. I am going to open a different issue and cc you for a discussion!

[ipip2005]

Cool, Great to hear, Thanks!

[HamletDRC]

OK, the npm package is now on the https://github.com/Microsoft/tslint-microsoft-contrib/tree/releases

Do you need an npm deployment to use this? Or can you point your package.json at this project's releases branch?

[ipip2005]

Perhaps I need a npm deployment to use it for our check-in procedure. I would use this releases branch for testing first.
Thank you so much!
