Suggestion
Allow a new syntax From issue #420 that will allow typing all of exports in a module.
export implements {
default: string
foo: (bar: boolean) => number
}
export default "Hello world!";
export function foo(bar) { return 1 }
Use Cases and Examples
Increasingly frameworks are using named module exports as a way of organizing their code. For instance Next.js is using named exports to specify things like exported component and functions for fetching data:
import { PageModule } from 'next'
type Post = { title: string };
export implements PageModule<{ posts: Posts[] }>;
function Blog({ posts }) {
return (
<ul>
{posts.map(post => (
<li>{post.title}</li>
))}
</ul>
)
}
export async function getStaticProps() {
return { props: { posts: [] } }
}
export default Blog
Frameworks relying on named export
- Next.js
- Redwood.js
- Remix.js
- SevlteKit
- StroryBook
- CloudFlare Workers

Checklist
My suggestion meets these guidelines:
- This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript/JavaScript code
- This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
- This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
- This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. library functionality, non-ECMAScript syntax with JavaScript output, etc.)
- This feature would agree with the rest of TypeScript's Design Goals.
