how to properly import types in TypeScript?

[eirnym]

I'm trying to use the library in a relatively big Vue project and have struggles with importing required types properly.

Import WunderbaumNode type is relatively easy: import type { WunderbaumNode } from "wb_node";, and wb_node is not a npm module, but it distinguishable from other libraries.

But for WbNodeData or WbNodeEventType there's no clear way to import:

• import type { WbClickEventType, WbNodeData, WbNodeEventType } from "types"; — what is "types"? how can I be sure that this is actually from Wunderbaum library?
• import type { WbClickEventType, WbNodeData, WbNodeEventType } from "wunderbaum/src/types.ts"; — works at this point, but fishy, as "src" is involved.

Could you please provide a proper way to use library in a big project, or just re-export all types, so it would be easier to use?

thanks. Can you give an example use case, where you would need the imported types?

I need to convert my data type to the Wunderbaum's and make TypeScript 6.0 happy with type usage.

The ideal solution would be to export all types. It won't hurt the project.

would renaming types.ts to wb_ypes.ts help in your case?

I prefer to use only imports from library, ie importing from "wunderbaum" in case of your library.
