typescript/consistent-type-exports Style

💭 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
{
  "options": {
    "typeAware": true
  },
  "rules": {
    "typescript/consistent-type-exports": "error"
  }
}
ts
import { defineConfig } from "oxlint";

export default defineConfig({
  options: { typeAware: true },
  rules: {
    "typescript/consistent-type-exports": "error",
  },
});
bash
oxlint --type-aware --deny typescript/consistent-type-exports

Version ​

This rule was added in v0.0.8.
