Mixin: Type "{}" used in example but eslint fails with an error

[HeikoStudt]

On the handbook page on Mixins (https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/mixins.html) you have the following typescript code as an example:

      type Constructor = new (...args: any[]) => {};

According to Default-Rules of eslint, this is an ERROR: Don't use {} as a type. {} actually means "any non-nullish value". In my view, eslint is right - the mixin will return an object and never something like a number.
(https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/blob/master/packages/eslint-plugin/docs/rules/ban-types.md)

It should probably be rewritten like this:

      type Constructor = new (...args: any[]) => Record<string,any>; 

MFG (kind regards)

Yeah, I pretty much agree with you (and eslint) here - funny that we don't have any cases in the compiler where it's not either {} or any
