Description
When targetting typescript interfaces, an empty object in the samples generates an empty interface. An empty interface, as per the linter has a big drawback:
An empty interface declaration allows any non-nullish value, including literals like
0and"".
- If that's what you want, disable this lint rule with an inline comment or configure the 'allowInterfaces' rule option.
- If you want a type meaning "any object", you probably want
objectinstead.- If you want a type meaning "any value", you probably want
unknown
So it probably needs to be object in such cases. More information

Description
It trips the linter. But more importantly, see linter message - an empty interface doesn't restrict a value to an empty object, which is what you might expect, but that's not how it works.
