Description

I am working on making an enum-like data type in the graphql package tree shakable.

In doing that work we had to silence a few instances of consistent-type-export because it detected supposedly type-only exports when in fact it was not.

The code that seems to be tripping them up is:

import type * as Kind_ from './kinds_.js';

export * as Kind from './kinds_.js';

export type Kind = (typeof Kind_)[keyof typeof Kind_];

Cases we silenced ESLint:

• https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js/pull/4270/files#diff-a2a171449d862fe29692ce031981047d7ab755ae7f84c707aef80701b3ea0c80R209-R210
• https://github.com/graphql/graphql-js/pull/4270/files#diff-433d64045ddea9df367a169ada6b7ce58b853aa60146fe5cd823b20afec1ae44R8

The specific ESLint errors that are being silenced are:

/Users/jasonkuhrt/projects/jasonkuhrt/graphql-js/src/index.ts
  209:1  error  All exports in the declaration are only used as types. Use `export type`  @typescript-eslint/consistent-type-exports

/Users/jasonkuhrt/projects/jasonkuhrt/graphql-js/src/language/index.ts
  8:1  error  All exports in the declaration are only used as types. Use `export type`  @typescript-eslint/consistent-type-exports

Fail

N/A

Pass

N/A

Additional Info

Sorry for not filling out the template completely. I am not sure how this pattern should be supported by ESLint, what considerations there might be etc., so hoping to get some thoughts from others regarding this.
