JS.TS.NO.USELESS.EMPTY.EXPORT
Disallow empty exports that don't change anything in a module file
Rule Details
An empty export {}
statement is sometimes useful in TypeScript code to turn a file that would otherwise be a script file into a module file.
Per the TypeScript Handbook Modules (https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/modules.html) page:
In TypeScript, just as in ECMAScript 2015, any file containing a top-level import or export is considered a module. Conversely, a file without any top-level import or export declarations is treated as a script whose contents are available in the global scope (and therefore to modules as well).
However, an export {}
statement does nothing if there are any other top-level import or export statements in a file.
Examples of code for this rule:
<!--tabs-->
Incorrect
Copy
export const value = 'Hello, world!';
export {};
Copy
import 'some-other-module';
export {};
Correct
Copy
export const value = 'Hello, world!';
Copy
import 'some-other-module';

// .eslintrc.json
{
"rules": {
"@typescript-eslint/no-useless-empty-export": "warn"
}
}
This rule is not configurable.
