why is DefinitionType missing at runtime?

[adrian-gierakowski]

import { DefinitionType } from '@reduxjs/toolkit/query/react'

console.log(DefinitionType.query)

fails due to DefinitionType being undefined

given how DefinitionType is typed, I'd expect it to be available at run time

Good question - but it's not really meant to be used in userland, I think you're the first person who'd ever try to use it.

Why do you want to use it? It's literally just the strings query and mutation.

I’m working on integration between effect and rtk-query in which an api slice is generated for an effect’s Context.Tag and with the way it’s currently typed TSC is not happy when I try to simply use "query" or "mutation". I had to create my own enum to satisfy TSC here
