Export Text as Txt to help with automatic imports

🚀 Feature request

Export Text as Txt to aid with automatic imports

🧱 Problem Statement / Justification

When developing in Chakra with TypeScript, most components automatically import very well. Text is the obvious exception, because it is a browser global. This also breaks the TypeScript server’s attempts to import all components automatically, as well as various refactoring plugins in VSCode (and I’m sure others).

✅ Proposed solution or API

export const Txt = Text - just this. Keep the Text export but mark it as deprecated.

↩️ Alternatives

Somehow getting Chakra to override the browser global types such that TS doesn’t think window.Text is a thing any more.

📝 Additional Information

None, sorry. I bet I’m not the only one with this issue though!

Adding my voice to this as well. Although it’s very easy to alias the export ourselves in all of the projects we work on, that repetition feels like a code smell. If it’s no major lift, it would be great to have the exported aliases taken care of without the extra steps. 😄

I also bump this proposal. It is a little bit annoying to import Text and Image over and over manually. It’s just a little thing but exporting Text as Txt and Image as Img would be helpful.
