no-unused-vars when destructuring

Tell us about your environment

• ESLint Version: ^3.14.1
• Node Version: 7.4
• npm Version: 3

What parser (default, Babel-ESLint, etc.) are you using?

babel-eslint

Please show your full configuration:

https://github.com/gajus/eslint-config-canonical/blob/master/configurations/eslintrc.json

What did you do? Please include the actual source code causing the issue.

Using a stateless component whose first argument contains both the children and all other props passed to it.

I want to pass only the props to another component:

const statelessReactComponent = ({ children, ...props }) => {
  return <someOtherComponent {...props} />
};

Here it complains that “[eslint] ‘children’ is defined but never used. (no-unused-vars)”

I don’t intend to use it but I still have to define it like that because I only want to pass down props, so the children is required while destructuring, much like when you want to use second argument you still have to declare the first argument in a function.

What did you expect to happen?

no-unused-vars should consider destructuring

What actually happened? Please include the actual, raw output from ESLint.
