Is this necessary for `import/no-cycle`?

I came to this repo after this https://github.com/import-js/eslint-plugin-import#typescript says to also install this.

However I tried the rule import/no-cycle, and it worked as long as I added plugin:import/typescript:

  "extends": [
    "eslint:recommended",
    "plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended",
    "plugin:prettier/recommended",
    "plugin:import/typescript", // <--- ADDED THIS ONE
    "prettier"
  ],
  "plugins": [
    "import"
  ],

If I didn't have that plugin, it wouldn't work.

Now I checked my package-lock.json to see if something was bringing in this package eslint-import-resolver-typescript. But there was nothing.

[nix-shell:~/Projects/TypeScript-Demo-Lib-Native]$ ag 'eslint-import-resolver'
package-lock.json
2943:    "node_modules/eslint-import-resolver-node": {
2945:      "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/eslint-import-resolver-node/-/eslint-import-resolver-node-0.3.6.tgz",
2953:    "node_modules/eslint-import-resolver-node/node_modules/debug": {
2994:        "eslint-import-resolver-node": "^0.3.6",
10529:    "eslint-import-resolver-node": {
10531:      "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/eslint-import-resolver-node/-/eslint-import-resolver-node-0.3.6.tgz",
10581:        "eslint-import-resolver-node": "^0.3.6",

Does this mean this package isn't required for some of the rules in the eslint-import-plugin? Or should I still have this package for other reasons?

You need enable this resovler manually, it helps to resolve @types/* automatically:

{
  "import/resolver": {
    "typescript": {}
  }
}

This means you can:

• import/require files with extension .ts/.tsx!
• Use paths defined in tsconfig.json.
• Prefer resolve @types/* definitions over plain .js.
• Multiple tsconfigs support just like normal.
