references dynamic import
🕗 Version & Regression Information
- This is the behavior in every version I tried, and I reviewed the FAQ for entries about references
⏯ Playground Link
💻 Code
// @filename: definition.ts
function X() {}
type X = true;
export default X; // do "find references" here
// @filename: usage.ts
import X from './definition';
X; // this reference is found
async function asd() {
const a = await import('./definition');
a.default; // this one is not
await import('./definition').then((m) => m.default /* this one is not */);
}🙁 Actual behavior
This needs the files to be copied into your IDE to reproduce. In VS Code, do "find references" on export default X. You'll see that the references of the indirect export (e.g. function x()...; export default x instead of export default function x()...) are not recognized for dynamic imports (for static imports they are).
🙂 Expected behavior
Recognize references for dynamic imports, too
Additional information about the issue
The playground needs to be copied into real files locally, as the playground isn't multifile-capable (from what I know), but it's needed for this reproduction.
Doing indirect exports is sometimes necessary in order to do declaration merging.
