Cannot import TS types from Svelte components in `.svelte.ts files`

[Bilge]

Describe the bug

I cannot import types exported in a <script module lang="ts"> block in a .svelte.ts file (I can import them in other .svelte files).

TS complains that:

TS2614: Module '".svelte"' has no exported member 'ListRecord'. Did you mean to use 'import ListRecord from ".svelte"' instead?

Indeed, importing from "*.svelte" does actually work, but my editor thinks it's an error (and it sure does look wrong).

blocking all usage of svelte

This is probably some sort of compiler issue, since typescript AST nodes are removed during compilation, and Svelte IDE tools usually compile the component as a part of their process.

Mmm i feel like this is probably in @dominikg territory...can you confirm if it's something to fix in vite-plugin-svelte?

FWIW I'm using Webpack, so if it is, it needs fixing in svelte-loader also.

Uhm then maybe it's not will try to take a look

This is not a runtime / bundler issue. This has to do with language tools. Your editor does not seem to use the typescript plugin - what IDE are you using?

[dominikg]

as a workaround or maybe even a better practice, export the type from a separate types.ts file?

whats the usecase for exporting a type there? component props are the only ones i can think of rn but they should work without export
