I am using Laravel and Vue, and to make JSX work, I use the following packages:

npm install @babel/plugin-syntax-jsx  @vue/babel-plugin-transform-vue-jsx  @vue/babel-helper-vue-jsx-merge-props --save-dev

Then I use this .babelrc in my project root:

{
    "plugins": ["@babel/plugin-syntax-dynamic-import", "@vue/babel-plugin-transform-vue-jsx"]
}

The dynamic-import one is not related to this, and Laravel Mix has its own .babelrc file that mine is merged with (automatically).

The problem I am facing is that the docs for this plugin say:

Starting with version 3.4.0 we automatically inject const h = this.$createElement in any method and getter (not functions or arrow functions) declared in ES2015 syntax that has JSX so you can drop the (h) parameter.

Vue.component('jsx-example', {
    render () { // h will be injected
        return <div id="foo">bar</div>
    },
})

But this is not the behaviour I see:

This is a problem because h is colliding with ES Lint's no-unused-vars rule:

I don't know what to do about that because I can't disable no-unused-vars across the entire project, and I don't want to add // eslint-disable-line no-unused-vars in every functional component.

Thanks for your time,

I notice the docs say v3.4.0, but I am using this plugin as v1.0.0-beta.3 which is the one that is installed via npm install @vue/babel-plugin-transform-vue-jsx. I don't know if that will be related, but it is an observation.
