Mixing type and value imports under isolatedModules in TypeScript

TypeScripttsconfig & CompilerisolatedModulesadvanced

What this snippet does

If 'User' is a type and 'createUser' is a value, some transpilers drop the type, but mixing them requires explicit handling.

Expected output

Compile Error: 'User' is a type and must be imported using a type-only import.

Why practise typing this

Typing tsconfig & compiler code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation TypeScript uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
