How can I use ESLint no-unused-vars for a block of code?

Question

I need to disable some variable checks in ESLint.

Currently, I am using this code, but am not getting the desired result:

/* eslint no-unused-vars: ["error", { "caughtErrorsIgnorePattern": "Hey" }] */ export type Hey = {   a: string,   b: object } 

Two questions:

• Is there a variant which can enable no-unused-vars for a block of code?

Something like...

/* eslint rule disable"*/  // I want to place my block of code, here  /* eslint rule disable"*/ 

• Or could I make Hey a global variable so that it can be ignored everywhere?

Answer 1

Just use pair of lines:

/* eslint-disable no-unused-vars */  // ... your code here with unused vars...  /* eslint-enable no-unused-vars */ 

Answer 2

Alternatively, you can disable the rule for one line:

// Based on your Typescript example  export type Hey = { // eslint-disable-line no-unused-vars   a: string,   b: object }
