Why doesn't eslint-plugin-unused-imports detect an unused exported class? #90

Closed jon9090 closed 1 month ago

If I have export class MyClass {} and I don't import it anywhere in my project, why doesn't eslint-plugin-unused-imports detect it?

//foo.ts:
export class MyClass {}

This will be very hard to debug without a bit more info. Do you have reproduction steps? Include tsconfig, eslint config and location of the file in your repo.

When you export anything, it automatically bails out the unused detection. ESLint is single-file-based analysing, and for such cases it would be hard to detect and not always desired (like if you are writing a library etc.)

I'd say this would be consider out-of-scope. Thanks for bringing up
