Description
Description
Enable a lint rule to automatically detect and flag unused imports across the codebase.
Problem
During code refactoring and development, unused imports can accumulate, leading to:
- Increased bundle size
- Code clutter and reduced readability
- Potential confusion about actual dependencies
- Maintenance overhead
Proposed Solution
Enable the no-unused-imports or similar lint rule in our ESLint configuration to automatically detect and flag unused imports.
Implementation Options
- ESLint rule: Enable
@typescript-eslint/no-unused-varswith import-specific configuration - Additional tooling: Consider tools like
eslint-plugin-unused-importsfor more specific unused import detection - Auto-fix: Configure the rule to automatically remove unused imports where safe
Acceptance Criteria
- Lint rule is configured in
.eslintrc.jsor equivalent config file - Rule catches unused imports in TypeScript/JavaScript files
- CI pipeline fails if unused imports are detected
- Documentation updated with information about the new rule
- Existing unused imports in codebase are cleaned up (separate task/PR)
Additional Notes
This will help maintain code quality and prevent accumulation of dead imports during ongoing development and refactoring work.

Research direction
Start by locating the ESLint configuration, such as .eslintrc.js or its equivalent, and the CI pipeline that runs linting. Compare the available unused-import rule options for TypeScript and JavaScript, then verify that the selected rule is enforced in CI and that the documentation describes it; existing unused-import cleanup is explicitly separate.
