Type defined in another file about react-docgen-typescript-loader

}

I get the following:

this is different @affanshahid I think but I would like this as well! I have union types defined that I use in multiple places,

For support for enums, some info can be found here:
#87

For loading types from external files:
#80

The documentation was recently updated to include instructions on supporting files loaded from external files. I'm closing this issue but feel free to leave a comment if this is still a problem.
