False positive when only importing typescript interfaces (so no runtime code) from a package

[Zjaaspoer]

Bug Description

Only importing TypeScript interfaces (so no runtime code) provides false positives.

Versions

• depcheck --version: 0.8.1

Extra info

It seems like the analysis is done on the compiled code and therefore won't know about the imported interfaces (as they are removed during compilation)?

Hey, thanks for reporting this, yes this is a known issue, the fix is to use the typescript parser and not babel for typescript files, will get to it as soon as I have some time.

I'll close this one since we already have a ticket for this #163

Cheers

ah ok, thanks, will track that ticket!
