typescript/consistent-type-exports Nursery

💭 This rule requires type information.

What it does

Enforce using export type for exports that are only used as types.

Why is this bad?

Mixing type-only exports with value exports without export type makes module intent harder to read and can cause unnecessary runtime export surface.

Examples

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

ts
type Foo = { bar: string };
export { Foo };

export { TypeOnly, value } from "./mod";

Examples of correct code for this rule:

ts
type Foo = { bar: string };
export type { Foo };

export type { TypeOnly } from "./mod";
export { value } from "./mod";

Configuration

This rule accepts a configuration object with the following properties:

fixMixedExportsWithInlineTypeSpecifier

type: boolean

default: false

Enables an autofix strategy that rewrites mixed exports using inline type specifiers.

How to use

To enable this rule using the config file or in the CLI, you can use:

json
{
  "rules": {
    "typescript/consistent-type-exports": "error"
  }
}
bash
oxlint --type-aware --deny typescript/consistent-type-exports
