Bug: unused imports in icon-types.ts in kit (urgent/critical) about font-awesome

[claudio-destro]

for the sake of my mind (or someone else's mind 😀), just apply a patch to your KIT after npm install:

--- node_modules/@awesome.me/kit-XXX/icons/modules/icon-types.ts.orig	2024-05-01 08:07:09
+++ node_modules/@awesome.me/kit-XXX/icons/modules/icon-types.ts	2024-05-01 08:07:17

 import type { IconDefinition, IconPack } from '@fortawesome/fontawesome-common-types';
-import type { Icon, IconParams } from '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core'
+// import type { Icon, IconParams } from '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core'
 
 export type IconPrefix = 'fast'|'fass'|'fasr'|'fasl'|'fakd'|'fak'|'fad'|'fat'|'fas'|'far'|'fal'|'fab';
 

I know this is really ugly and a workaround, but at least it lets me build my final application

Same issue here, any ETA on a fix? Cheers

I fell into this issues recently: it is a real blocker. Hope this will be fixed soon
I am using classic command "tsc && vite build"

3 months after reporting and it's still an issue in Vite + TS + React + Kits.

[claudio-destro]

not to mention that kits are not free...

Quick update. We're still working on this. We want to make sure it's actually fixed before we release and TypeScript can be tricky.

You can fix this error by changing/adding this line to your tsconfig file:

"noUnusedLocals": false,

@nathandaly yep that was an option.

However, I don't want to loosen the constraints and allow unused imports or unused variables.
