+Since there are some rules which require type information please make sure to set up a `tsconfig.json` configuration file in the root directory of your project. If your TypeScript configuration file is placed in another location you have to configure it using `parserOptions.project` in your ESLint configuration file. For more information have a look at the [typescript-eslint documentation](https://typescript-eslint.io/packages/parser/#project).
