Linter rule for unused imports?

[spg]

Is there a rule that allows detection of unused imports?

[Conaclos]

For now, there is no rule that covers it.

ESLint reports unused imports when no-unused-var is enabled.
This behavior was not implemented in noUnusedVariables.
I do not know if this was intentional.

We should either add this check on noUnusedVariables or create a dedicated rule noUnusedImports.

It's also detected by typescript, violating ts(6133).

I wonder if that's why they didn't bother implementing it?

[zachequi]

TSC wouldn't auto-fix the rule, and even if it did, it's way way slower than rome. I'd double vote for rome implementing this rule.

Looks like the noUnusedVariables rule in main covers this, see: #4685
