Repro

{"rules": {"typescript/no-use-before-define": ["error",{"typedefs":true}]  }}

// Should error according to docs, but it wontletmyVar:StringOrNumber='hello'typeStringOrNumber=string|number

Expected Result

Should work according to docs

Actual Result

Doesn't work at all

Additional Info

Also dunno if this is considered within the implementation, but there is a common pattern in React to get Props/State types from implementation by leveragingtypeof. So iftypedefs is set tofalse this should not raise any error:

typeState=typeofinitialStateconstinitialState={count:0,who:''}
