importsNotUsedAsValues

🕗 Version

4.5.3, when specifier-specific type keyword was added.

⏯ Playground Link

The playground doesn't allow setting importsNotUsedAsValues

💻 Code

// this works

import type { VFC } from 'react';
export const Hello: VFC<{}> = () => <main>Hello World</main>;

and:

// this reports diagnostics

import { type VFC } from 'react';
export const Hello: VFC<{}> = () => <main>Hello World</main>;

should behave the same (no error)

🙁 Actual behavior

This import is never used as a value and must use 'import type' because 'importsNotUsedAsValues' is set to 'error'.ts(1371) on second piece of code.

🙂 Expected behavior

Both examples should not report diagnostics.

@andrewbranch I feel like this is your cup of tea. :)
