|
|
|
Generic type parameters (`<T>`) in TypeScript may be "constrained" with an [`extends` keyword](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/generics.html#generic-constraints).
|
|
When no `extends` is provided, type parameters default a constraint to `unknown`.
|
|
It is therefore redundant to `extend` from `any` or `unknown`.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
<Tabs>
|
|
<TabItem value="❌ Incorrect">
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
interface FooAny<T extends any> {}
|
|
|
|
interface FooUnknown<T extends unknown> {}
|
|
|
|
type BarAny<T extends any> = {};
|
|
|
|
type BarUnknown<T extends unknown> = {};
|
|
|
|
class BazAny<T extends any> {
|
|
quxAny<U extends any>() {}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
const QuuxAny = <T extends any>() => {};
|
|
|
|
function QuuzAny<T extends any>() {}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
<TabItem value="✅ Correct">
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
interface Foo<T> {}
|
|
|
|
type Bar<T> = {};
|
|
|
|
class Baz<T> {
|
|
qux<U>() {}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
const Quux = <T>() => {};
|
|
|
|
function Quuz<T>() {}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</TabItem>
|
|
</Tabs>
|

## When Not To Use It
|
|
|
|
If you don't care about the specific styles of your type constraints, or never use them in the first place, then you will not need this rule.
