💻 Code
// @strict
// @filename: constants.ts
export const COFFEE = 0;
export const TEA = 1;
// @filename: drink.ts
export type Drink = 0 | 1;
export * as Drink from "./constants";
// @filename: index.ts
import { Drink } from "./drink";
// 'Drink' only refers to a type, but is being used as a value here
const x: Drink = Drink.TEA;🙁 Actual behavior
According to TS Drink is not imported as a value.
🙂 Expected behavior
No error should occur.
I'm currently using the following workaround:
// @strict
// @filename: constants.ts
export const COFFEE = 0;
export const TEA = 1;
// @filename: drink.ts
import * as DrinkConstants from "./constants";
export type Drink = 0 | 1;
export const Drink = DrinkConstants;
// @filename: index.ts
import { Drink } from "./drink";
const x: Drink = Drink.TEA;
