I am facing an issue with exporting a complex type created using the typeof operator in Typescript. Here is the scenario:
// controller/createProfile.ts
import { z } from 'zod';
import { zValidator } from '@hono/zod-validator';
const createProfileBody = z.object({
id: z.string({
required_error: 'Id is required.',
}),
username: z.string({
required_error: 'User name is required.',
}),
firstname: z.string({
required_error: 'First name is required',
}),
lastname: z.optional(z.string()),
avatar: z.optional(z.string()),
});
const route = app.post('/', zValidator('json', createProfileBody), async c => {
...
});
export type CreateProfileType = typeof route;
// types.d.ts
export * from './controller/createProfile';
The exported type CreateProfileType looks like this:
Hono<{
Bindings: Binding;
}, Schema<"post", "/", {
json: {
lastname?: string | undefined;
avatar?: string | undefined;
id: string;
username: string;
firstname: string;
};
}, ReturnType>>
When trying to import the CreateProfileType into another module, the imported type always defaults to any. I have specified the types field in my package.json and tried different configurations in the tsconfig, but the issue persists.
Edit
After generating a declaration file using tsc, I found that the type of route is lost in the export process. Manually specifying the type of route seems to resolve the issue, but it's not an ideal solution. Is there a way to export the correct type of route for accessibility in different packages?
