typescript - Ignore TS6133: "(import) is declared but never used"?

Question

While working on a TypeScript project, I commented out a line, and got the error:

Failed to compile

./src/App.tsx
(4,8): error TS6133: 'axios' is declared but never used.

This error occurred during the build time and cannot be dismissed.

The error is right, I am importing axios, but I wanted to temporarily comment out the call to axios.get. I appreciate that error as it keeps my imports clean, but during early development is is pretty disruptive.

Any way to disable or ignore that warning?

Answer 1

You probably have the noUnusedLocals compiler option turned on in your tsconfig.json. Just turn it off during development.
