U function in a Node module I'm trying to describe in .d.ts has two aliases, config() and load() (see the source). The function can be described like this in dotenv/index.d.ts:
export function config(options?: dotenvOptions): Object;
How do I also export it under the other alias, load()?
You can declare a type:
declare type ConstructorMethod = (options?: dotenvOptions) => Object;
(name can be better)
Then export the two methods as the same type:
export const config: ConstructorMethod;
export const load: ConstructorMethod;
P.S. Looks like the return type is actually object | boolean. Union types might be annoying, but I thought I might point you in this direction in case you become annoyed in future: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/advanced-types.html (the section on type guards and differentiating types). Just something cool I only recently came across.
Object | false. I've submitted a PR to DefinitelyTyped with the fix.
