Exposing Types

[rjerue]

Hello,

There's a lot of types that Next does export pretty clearly. It looks like the pattern for this is typically an index file in the root that does an export * from 'dist/something/index'. Not all the files, particularly those under dist/next/server are exposed. If I want to get Server then I have to do import Server from 'next/dist/next-server/server/next-server'; Is that how most folks are doing it?

You can also leverage ReturnType, but it'd be nice if there was a consistent way of importing types.

Why do you need the server type? It's not a public api and can change at any time.

I'm doing something like this...

// foo.ts
import next from 'next';

const nextServer = next(...)

export const nextServer;

// bar.ts
function prepareNextServer(nextServer: TypeGoHere){
    // Do something with nextServer
    // Particularly usage of nextServer.prepare, nextServer.getRequestHandler, and nextServer.render
}

Each of the above functions are used in the docs. Totally understandable that everything in the server types is not public, but is there a type that represents the slice of things that are?
