typeExports

Reports exports that should use 'export type' syntax.

✅ This rule is included in the ts stylistic presets.

Using export type for type-only exports improves tree-shaking and makes the intent explicit. When exporting symbols that were imported using import type, use export type instead.

Examples

Type-Only Re-exports

❌ Incorrect

import type { User } from "./types";
export { User };

✅ Correct

import type { User } from "./types";
export type { User };

Inline Type Imports

❌ Incorrect

import { type Post } from "./types";
export { Post };

✅ Correct

import { type Post } from "./types";
export type { Post };

Options

This rule is not configurable.

When Not To Use It
