📎 Integrate lint/useGroupedTypeImport in organizeImports

[Conaclos]

Description

useGroupedTypeImport allows factorizing type imports:

- import { type A, type B } from ""
+ import type { A, B } from ""

This behavior should be integrated into organize-imports action.

I'm not sure this should be part of the import sorting. Is there a good reason for doing that?

Are there other tools that do that? If so how?

Cargo for example doesn't join imports.

Actually, you are the one who proposed it 😅
I have no strong opinions about that...

Are there other tools that do that? If so how?

Factorizing type modifier? Not sure I have to check.

Cargo for example doesn't join imports.

Do you mean merging distinct import statements? This is not the point of this issue. However, I think it is a good thing of merging imports because typescript is doing that.

Past ematipico was wise 😆 and present ematipico is grampy. Feel free to ignore my present comment.

Do you mean #454? This is not the point of this issue.

No, I wondered why they don't do that since rust is a side-effect-free language so that they can merge imports without possible repercussions. Simply that.

Can I look into this one?

Edit: have seen that this is extending the existing rule. Looks fairly complex already but will have a look, maybe best not to assign until I'm sure I'm able to help here 🙂

Edit2: yep not sure I can handle this one! I'll throw my hat into the ring elsewhere.

Hi @emab, I will work on #817 in the coming days. I am afraid our works may lead to Git conflict. I will come back here once I addressed #817.

Closing in favor of #3015
