    Rule Details

    This rule disallows unnecessary constraints on generic types. Type parameters (<T>) default to unknown, so constraining a generic type parameter to any or unknown has no effect.

    Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

    interface FooAny<T extends any> {}

class BarAny<T extends any> {}

function BazAny<T extends any>() {}

const QuuxAny = <T extends any>() => {};

interface FooUnknown<T extends unknown> {}

class BarUnknown<T extends unknown> {}

function BazUnknown<T extends unknown>() {}

const QuuxUnknown = <T extends unknown>() => {};

    Examples of correct code for this rule:

    interface Foo<T> {}

class Bar<T> {}

function Baz<T>() {}

const Quux = <T>() => {};
