💡 Possibility to import RawConfiguration or something similar for dynamic configuration

[armand-dfl]

Suggest an idea for Knip

In my use case, I need to create a custom function that accepts a Knip config object as a parameter, something like this:

export function createConfig({
  compilers,
  ignoreDependencies = [],
  ...config
}: KnipConfig = {}): KnipConfig {
  return {
    ...,
    ...config,
  }
}

The problem is that KnipConfig seems to be a union of several types rather than just the plain config object type. I could not find any documentation mentioning the underlying types.

After looking through node_modules, I found RawConfiguration, which appears to match my use case better, but it cannot be imported.

Because of this, I currently have to do something like:

import type { KnipConfig } from "knip"
type KnipConfigObject = Exclude<KnipConfig, (...args: never[]) => unknown>
export function createConfig({
  compilers,
  ignoreDependencies = [],
  ...config
}: KnipConfigObject = {}): KnipConfig {
  return {
    ...,
    ...config,
  }
}

It would be useful to expose the object config type separately, or otherwise make it possible to import the relevant subtype of KnipConfig.
