bug: "github.com/a-h/templ/runtime" imported as templruntime and not used

[farhadhf]

I have a small templ file that only includes scripts, after upgrading to templ v0.2.747 today I'm getting this error:

"github.com/a-h/templ/runtime" imported as templruntime and not used

You can reproduce it by running templ generate on this:

package components

script SetObjectName(name string) {
    window.object_name = name
}

Thanks for this.

The solution is to update the generator to add a fake import to the generated code, e.g. var _ = templruntime.GeneratedTemplate that way, even if the code doesn't use the import explicitly, it won't cause this error.

Alternatives involve checking that the imports are used by the generated code, which would add complexity for little benefit.

Agree on the var approach, this will also solve the problem for when someone has no templ code in a templ file.
