@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars false positive in type declarations

Source: I am the maintainer of the typescript-eslint project.

If you update your versions of @typescript-eslint/parser and @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin to v4.1.0, you will be able to use the latest changes which make @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars work properly for all cases.

---

As an aside - using v3.x of the plugin but v4.x of the parser will put you into a really weird state with undefined and unsupported behaviour.

You should make sure you are always using the same version of both packages, as each version is released together.

Similar question asked earlier check: Why ESLint throws 'no-unused-vars' for TypeScript interface?

Disable '@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars': 0 rule and instead use "strict": true, "noUnusedLocals": true, and "noUnusedParameters": true, in tsconfig.json

Just make sure you have the latest version of the following:

• typescript-eslint
• @typescript-eslint/parser
• @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin

in your .eslintrc.js make sure you have the following lines added to rules section:

  "no-unused-vars": "off",
  "@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars": ["error"]
