Typescript support about imagetools

[JonasKruckenberg]

As I'm using typescript for all of my projects, I am very aware of this issue. A type declaration of images would have to look something like this

declare module "*.jpg?*"
declare module "*.webp?*"
// etc.

Because we only want to provide types for imports that use directives. The problem is though that typescript at the moment only allows one star (*) in a pattern at a time, so using two stars will result in typescript complaining.
I know it's not ideal and I will raise an issue with the typescript folks at some point (its on my backlog) but for now there is no real solution for this :/

Thanks for the quick update on things! And of course thanks so much for this awesome project I've come to depend on daily. I'll follow up under TS to hopefully get this to work.

One way I'm getting around this is I have this declaration:

declare module '*&img';

then I add the &img to the end of my imports like this:

import image from '$lib/assets/image.png?width=1000&format=webp&img';

Is there an issue under TS to track this? I tried to look for one but couldn't. It's probably buried somewhere among the 5k+ issues for TS.

I have not gotten around to follow through on creating an issue (you may have noticed that I have a lot of other projects that have to take priority right now) but feel free to open one on behalf of this project if it really bothers you.

I personally have not much hope they fix this, but who knows.
