TSLint: non-arrow functions are forbidden

I’m using typescript, yarn, react. I want to use non-arrow functions in some places of my app like this

function myFunction () {
  console.log('This is a traditional function')
}

and my TSLint will not allow me to do that. When I run yarn lint command to catch all the linting errors, I get

ERROR : non-arrow functions are forbidden

This is my tslint.json file. Please advise on how I can get rid of this error.

Note: I’m using arrow functions in some places and it is working fine. I want to use this keyword in some functions so trying to use traditional functions as well. I can’t replace arrow functions with traditional functions and vice-versa.

>Solution :

It appears one of the defaults you’re extending has applied this rule. You can override it by disabling "only-arrow-functions" and it should be working:

{
  "rules": {
    "only-arrow-functions": false,
    ...
  }
  ...
}

With the info you provided, this seems to work.
