noUnusedVariables

このコンテンツはまだ日本語訳がありません。

Diagnostic Category: lint/correctness/noUnusedVariables

Since: v1.0.0

Sources:

Disallow unused variables.

There is an exception to this rule: variables that starts with underscore, e.g. let _something;.

The pattern of having an underscore as prefix of a name of variable is a very diffuse pattern among programmers, and Biome decided to follow it.

This rule won’t report unused imports. If you want to report unused imports, enable noUnusedImports.

From v1.9.0, the rule won’t check unused function parameters any more. If you want to report unused function parameters, enable noUnusedFunctionParameters.
