Reexporting module as named export for module library

[shanehsu]

Similar edge case,

export { value as anotherName } from './some-file'

Will generate

export const value: number

instead of

export const anotherName: number

Hey did you guys find a solution for this?

[shanehsu]

Better off writing something of our own at this point...

[im-danwu]

Hahaha yeah this is my first time working with declaration files so I'm surprised there's no automated way of creating these that are... more robust.

@shanehsu I figured out a workaround that's not too bad using namespaces. You would modify the above example as...

mammals.ts

export namespace mammals {
    export class Monkey { }
    export class Lion { }
    export class Tiger { }
}

index.ts

export { mammals } from './mammals';

This actually feels nicer as we don't need to import * as just to export again
