I have an enum declared somewhere in a sub module, and I'd like to re-export it in my actual project.
module :
export enum name {
TOTO = "toto",
TITI = "titi",
}
export :
import { name } from "module"
export type name2 = name
index.ts:
switch (var) {
case name2.toto: // 'name2' only refers to a type, but is being used as a value here.
}
How can I not lose information that name2 is initially an enum ?
Your re-export should be:
export { name as name2 };
This can be used with any kind of declared name: variable, enum, class, etc.
The suggested method didn't work for me, as I import names like this:
import * as API from './__generated__/api/data-contracts.ts'
In such circumstances, one doesn't simply export it as:
export { API.name as name2 };
because it's an error.
Luckily, I've finally learned a way to do it, thanks to [email protected]#javascript:
export type name2 = API.name;
export const name2 = API.name;
This way, we get the best of both worlds - types and values. And TS will figure out which one it wants.
const name2 = name
