Starting from tslint v5 8 0 you can set an exclude property under your linterOptions key in your tslint json file        extends    tslint latest      linterOptions            exclude                bin                   test                lib  generated js                  More information on this here

Currently using Visual Studio Code and the command to disable tslint is    tslint disable     Something to note  The disable above disables ALL tslint rules on that page  If you want to disable a specific rule you can specify one multiple rules     tslint disable comment-format       tslint disable rule1 rule2 rule3 etc       Or enable a rule    tslint enable comment-format     More in depth on TSLint rule flags

Can confirm that on version tslint 5 11 0 it works by modifying lint script in package json by defining exclude argument    lint    ng lint --exclude src models    --exclude package json    Cheers

There are others who encountered the problem  Unfortunately  there is only an open issue for excluding files  https   github com palantir tslint issues 73  So I m afraid the answer is no

linterOptions is currently only handled by the CLI  If you re not using CLI then depending on the code base you re using you ll need to set the ignore somewhere else  webpack  tsconfig  etc
