Generate only imports which will be used

[capaj]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently generated files often have imports that are not used anywhere

Describe the solution you'd like Unused import would be stripped/never even generated

Describe alternatives you've considered stripping it myself using eslint

Additional context

I tried to use ts-morph optimize functionality but it's super super slow that it's unusable 😞

[JClackett]

Yeah if there was a way to do this, that would be great! currently generating the source files is not an option as it then fails all eslint/ts checks.

[MichalLytek]

@JClackett You should just ignore that generated source files folder in eslint or put a dedicated tsconfig for that folder to supress the unused stuff errors.

ts-morph optimize functionality is unusable and doing such import optimization manually in the code is a tedious task - there are plenty of issues with more priority, so unless someone make a PR with that, it won't happen soon 😞

[JClackett]

Yeah for sure this isn't high priority, so all good! :)
