Codemod to help adoption of types stripping #267
Description
Description/Context
To enable TypeScript support on Node.js, Marco implement types stripping. This approach is now supported by the TypeScript transpiler and is on its way to becoming stable on Node.js. That is why we must try to create one or more codemods that will enable adoption of this approach.
Todo
- Use right file extension on import specifier
@nodejs/correct-ts-specifiers(need to be updated to new codemod paradigm)
Thing to define
- How to go away from
enum - What do we have to change in the
tsconfig.json

For context, a list of what TS currently considers non-strippable:
<T>x(as opposed tox as Twhich is strippable)constructor(public x) { ... }import x = ...andexport = ...AugustinMauroy commentedon Nov 16, 2025
import { type } from "package";also if a type is imported without thetypekeyword it's not workingJakobJingleheimer commentedon Nov 16, 2025
correct-ts-specifiershandles some of that (if it's a.d.tsfile). tslint handles the other cases.
