blaky/eslint-plugin-unused-imports

Package to seperate no-unused-vars and no-unused-imports for eslint as well as providing an autofixer for the latter.

eslint-plugin-unused-imports

Find and remove unused es6 modules

Typescript

If running typescript-eslint please use the -ts extension on your rules to make this also leverage type information (otherwise the autofixer will remove imports only used for type information). There is an example in the Usage section below.

Installation

You'll first need to install ESLint:

$ npm i eslint --save-dev

Next, install eslint-plugin-unused-imports:

$ npm install eslint-plugin-unused-imports --save-dev

Note: If you installed ESLint globally (using the -g flag) then you must also install eslint-plugin-unused-imports globally.

Usage

Add unused-imports to the plugins section of your .eslintrc configuration file. You can omit the eslint-plugin- prefix:

{
	"plugins": ["unused-imports"]
}

Then configure the rules you want to use under the rules section.

e.g.

{
	"rules": {
		"no-unused-vars": "off",
		"unused-imports/no-unused-imports": 2,
		"unused-imports/no-unused-vars": 1
	}
}

Or, if using TypeScript:

{
	"rules": {
		"@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars": "off",
		"unused-imports/no-unused-imports-ts": 2,
		"unused-imports/no-unused-vars-ts": 1
	}
}

Supported Rules

• no-unused-imports
• no-unused-vars
• no-unused-imports-ts
• no-unused-vars-ts
