Error “ Unexpected token” when export multiple typescript type alias from a ts file

Question

Sandbox: https://codesandbox.io/s/typescript-export-question-tlbd2

error will be on export type {

type abc = {
  a: string;
};

type bbc = {bbb: string}

export type {
  abc,
  bbc,
}

Is exporting types something not suppose to be done? I am trying to reuse types as much as I can. If there is better alternatives plz let me know

Answer 1

If you are trying to export the types so that you can import them like this:

import { abc, bbc } from './my-types';

You can simply export when declaring them:

export type abc = {
  a: string;
};

export type bbc = {bbb: string}

But you might also be looking for TypeScript namespace , if that is the case please look at the documentation here .

Answer 2

I think your only issue is adding the keyword type to your export:

type abc = {
  a: string;
};

type bbc = {bbb: string}

export { abc, bbc }

Does this work for you or do you still get the same error?
