Fix ESLint error with interfaces in global.d.ts

[mikenikles]

Hi 👋,

I have the following interface in my src/global.d.ts:

/// <reference types="@sveltejs/kit" />

interface User {
  login: string;
  name: string;
}

I use the User interface in a component like this: const user: User = getUser().

When I run the lint npm script, it reports error 'User' is not defined no-undef

Does anyone know how I can teach ESLint about the interfaces defined in src/global.d.ts?

Create a file named .eslintignore. Then add src/global.d.ts to it.

This simply has eslint ignore global.d.ts. He's trying to do the opposite of that. He WANTS eslint to know about global.d.ts.

I've read that you can add /// <reference path="../../../global.d.ts" /> inside the <script> tag in your .svelte files (with appropriate number of ../ of course), but this doesn't work for me.
