emptyModuleAttributes

Reports empty import/export attributes that serve no purpose.

✅ This rule is included in the ts stylistic presets.

Import attributes (using with {}) allow specifying metadata about a module import. An empty with {} clause provides no additional information and should be removed.

Examples

❌ Incorrect

import data from "./data.json" with {};

import { x } from "./module" with {};

export { x } from "./module" with {};

export * from "./module" with {};

✅ Correct

import data from "./data.json" with { type: "json" };

import { x } from "./module";

export { x } from "./module";

import styles from "./styles.css" with { type: "css" };

Options

This rule is not configurable.

When Not To Use It

If you intentionally use empty import attributes as placeholders or for tooling purposes, you may disable this rule.
