type/no-unnecessary-type-assertion

Disallow type assertions that do not change the expression type.

Applies to: Type information in Vue SFC scripts and templates, for the constructs shown below.

This rule reads type information from your TypeScript project (tsconfig.json), so the configuration sets typeAware: true. typeAware does not turn on opt-in rules by itself.

Bad

known is already number, so asserting number does not change its type.

<script setup lang="ts">
const known: number = 1;
const asserted = known as number;
</script>

Good

Using known without an assertion keeps the annotated number type.

<script setup lang="ts">
const known: number = 1;
const asserted = known;
</script>

Configuration (Vite+)

import { defineConfig } from "@vizejs/vite-plugin/vite-plus";

export default defineConfig({}).withVue({
  linter: {
    "preset": "incremental",
    "rules": {
      "type/no-unnecessary-type-assertion": "warn"
    },
    "typeAware": true
  },
});

Then run vp run lint.
