emotion-js on Create React App - 'jsx' is defined but never used

Question

So I tried to use emotion-js for the first time and get hooked by the css prop feature.

While trying what the documentation says I get a warning from the eslint.

'jsx' is defined but never used @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars

The script that I use looks like this.

import React from "react";
//** @jsx jsx */
import { jsx } from "@emotion/core";

export const Component = () => {
    return (
        <div css={{color: red}}>
            This is a component
        </div>
    )
}

I'm using VSCode, so I can see that this import is tagged as never used. (Has transparent color)

But I did use it for my div, and if I remove the import, my css prop is showing an error.

Please help as to how to avoid this eslint warning, or at least make the VSCode recognize that jsx is being used.

Thanks!

Edit 2: I tried adding .eslintrc file that looked like this

{
  "parser": "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  "plugins": ["@typescript-eslint"],
  "extends": ["plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended"],
  "rules": {
    "@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars": [
      2,
      { "vars": "all", "args": "all", "varsIgnorePattern": "^jsx$" }
    ]
  }
}

Still get the warning, did I do it wrong?

Answer 1

I found this trick to fix the warning.

1. Add eslint and typescript-eslint dependencies

yarn add --dev @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin @typescript-eslint/parser eslint
// or if you use npm
npm install --save-dev @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin @typescript-eslint/parser eslint

2. Create .eslintrc file (change the config as needed)

{
  "parser": "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  "plugins": ["@typescript-eslint"],
  "extends": [
    "eslint:recommended",
    "plugin:@typescript-eslint/eslint-recommended",
    "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended",
    "plugin:react/recommended"
  ],
  "rules": {
    "@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars": [
      2,
      {
        "vars": "all",
        "args": "all",
        "varsIgnorePattern": "^jsx$",
        "argsIgnorePattern": "[Ii]gnored$"
      }
    ],
    "@typescript-eslint/no-use-before-define": "off",
    "@typescript-eslint/explicit-function-return-type": "off",
    "@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any": "off"
  }
}

3. Install Eslint Extension on VSCode This is useful to automatically run the eslint in your code editor (here).

4. Extend CRA's Eslint to Local Eslint (ref: here) Create .env file and add this line:

EXTEND_ESLINT=true

Now when you try to run yarn start or npm run start CRA will use your local ESLint to compile your script.
