Disallows the declaration of an empty interface.
An interface with no members serves no purpose. This rule will capture these situations as either unnecessary code or a mistaken empty implementation.
Invalid:
interface Foo {}
Valid:
interface Foo {
name: string;
}
interface Bar {
age: number;
}
// Using an empty interface with at least one extension are allowed.
// Using an empty interface to change the identity of Baz from type to interface.
type Baz = { profession: string };
interface Foo extends Baz {}
// Using an empty interface to extend already existing Foo declaration
// with members of the Bar interface
interface Foo extends Bar {}
// Using an empty interface as a union type
interface Baz extends Foo, Bar {}
