#Configuration

import { defineConfig, ts } from '@rslint/core';

export default defineConfig([
  ts.configs.recommended,

  },
]);

#Rule Details

Enforce consistent usage of type imports. TypeScript allows marking imports as type-only using import type, which ensures the import is erased at compile time. This rule enforces that type-only imports use the import type syntax, and can optionally disallow import() type annotations.

The prefer option supports "type-imports" (default) and "no-type-imports". The disallowTypeAnnotations option (default true) forbids using import() in type annotations.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

import { MyType } from './types'; // MyType is only used as a type

type Foo = import('./types').Bar; // disallowTypeAnnotations

Examples of correct code for this rule:

import type { MyType } from './types';

import { value } from './values';

import { value, type MyType } from './mixed';
