Safe to import types from api routes?

[KATT]

Hey!

I generally like type inference more than pre-defined types and wondering if it's generally safe to export types from API routes and use them in my components?

I've made an example here: https://github.com/KATT/nextjs-with-typescript-and-type-inference

In this example, I've created an API-route from which I'm inferring types into my pages & components. Is it safe to do this? Feels bad to import api/-stuff into React-components.

• Example deployment: https://nextjs-with-typescript-and-type-inference.vercel.app/users
• Exporting type GetUsersResponse in api/users/index.tsx
• Using said type in
  • pages/users/index.tsx
  • List / ListItem

Oh, I just saw this tool linked in the docs! https://next-code-elimination.now.sh

Think that answers my question :)

So basically the answer is that it's not safe?
