no-unnecessary-type-arguments
Disallow type arguments that are equal to the default.
🔒
Extending "plugin:@typescript-eslint/strict" in an ESLint configuration enables this rule.
🛠
Some problems reported by this rule are automatically fixable by the --fix ESLint command line option.
💭
This rule requires type information to run.
Type parameters in TypeScript may specify a default value. For example:
function f<T = number>(...) {...}
It is redundant to provide an explicit type parameter equal to that default: e.g. calling f<number>(...).
This rule reports when an explicitly specified type argument is the default for that type parameter.
