Enterprise Server 3.15 is currently available as a release candidate.

JavaScript and TypeScript queries for CodeQL analysis

Explore the queries that CodeQL uses to analyze code written in JavaScript or TypeScript when you select the default or the security-extended query suite.

Who can use this feature?

CodeQL is available for the following repository types:

CodeQL includes many queries for analyzing JavaScript and TypeScript code. All queries in the default query suite are run by default. If you choose to use the security-extended query suite, additional queries are run. For more information, see "CodeQL query suites."

Built-in queries for JavaScript and TypeScript analysis

This table lists the queries available with the latest release of the CodeQL action and CodeQL CLI. For more information, see CodeQL change logs in the CodeQL documentation site.

Note

The initial release of GitHub Enterprise Server 3.15 included CodeQL action and CodeQL CLI 2.18.4, which may not include all of these queries. Your site administrator can update your CodeQL version to a newer release. For more information, see "Configuring code scanning for your appliance."
