eslint throwing import/no-unresolved error on declaration files

Question

Eslint is throwing an import error: import/no-unresolved when a typescript declaration files is imported. I am using lerna for monorepo. Relevant declaration file import. Below imported file is app.d.ts file.

I can add "import/ignore": [".d.ts"] in the below config , which solves the error but I am looking for a solution other than this.

// types
import { Theme } from '@typings/app';

My .eslintrc.js config file:

module.exports = {
  parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  extends: [
    "airbnb",
    "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended",
    "prettier",

You need more configs for typescript. the solution is as shown.

extends: [
    "airbnb",
    "plugin:import/typescript", // this is needed because airbnb uses eslint-plugin-import
    "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended",
    "prettier",
    "prettier/@typescript-eslint", // not related to this problem but it helps
    "prettier/react"
]
