I will be nice to add an option generate a export files instead of a namespace called GatsbyTypes

That way one can simply import the necessary types directly.

Ah! I was lulled into too much a sense of security by Gatsby 3’s new built-in typescript support. I knew it seemed too easy.

You nailed it, running npx tsc --init got VSCode happy right away. Thanks!

Typescript now explicitly discourages namespaces:

It’s not to be used as a replacement for JavaScript objects and isn’t relevant as long as the plugin deals only with types without any JavaScript semantics.

I mainly use coc.nvim, and I’m dogfooding this plugin with my coworkers using VSCode. This should work out of the box in any Gatsby project by default with no additional settings.

@zandaleph Can you provide me a reproduction that the plugin doesn’t work properly?

I understand that there are use cases where you would like to use module semantics directly instead of global/namespaces, and I have plan to experiment various output modes in v3.x
