Issue Description

This issue was moved fromvuejs/core#12433. It is specific toVue, butmight be coming fromtypescript-eslint.

See the reproduction steps below. Here are the relevant source code files:

<script setup lang="ts">import {useTemplateRef }from"vue";importModalfrom"@/components/Modal.vue";const modal=useTemplateRef<InstanceType<typeofModal>>("modal");function close() {modal.value?.close();}</script><template>  <button@click="modal?.open!">    Open modal  </button>  <button@click="close">    Close modal  </button>  <Teleportto="body">    <Modalref="modal" />  </Teleport></template>

<script setup lang="ts">import {ref }from"vue";const isOpen=ref(false);function open() {isOpen.value=true;}function close() {isOpen.value=false;}defineExpose({open,close});</script><template>  <divv-if="isOpen">    Modal  </div></template>

The intent is to use the exported functions from an instance of theModal component whenever needed. For that, I use Vue'suseTemplateRef function and thedefineExpose compiler macro.

While running the lint script, I get the following errors:

src/components/App.vue  9:3   error  Unsafe call of a(n) `any` typed value          @typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-call  9:16  error  Unsafe member access .close on an `any` value  @typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-member-access

Note that there are two functions exported from theModal component, namely,open andclose. However, I use these functions differently in theApp component. Theopen method is used directly in thetemplate section, whereas for theclose function I've created a wrapper of the same name in thescript setup section. Note that the error of using anany value is reported only on the wrapper (specifically, on the callmodal.value?.close()).

This issue is also eerily similar tovuejs/core#6882.
