unable to import type XMLBuilder

[mperdikeas]

Describe the bug

I am using xmlbuilder2 in Node writing my code in TypeScript. I am unsure what is the recommended / idiomatic way to import the type XMLBuilder which is defined in node_modules/xmlbuilder2/lib/interfaces.d.ts

To Reproduce
Currently I am doing this:

import {XMLBuilder} from 'xmlbuilder2/lib/interfaces';

This is working but it feels odd.

Expected behavior

I was expecting something more streamlined like:

import {XMLBuilder} from 'xmlbuilder2';

Version:

• node.js: [4.19.2]
• xmlbuilder2 [3.0.2]

Additional context
None

xmlbuilder2/lib/interfaces appears to be not public API, as it is not reachable from entry point.
Furthermore, it is a type, so you should use import type {XMLBuilder} from 'xmlbuilder2/lib/interfaces';

You might use import XMLBuilder from 'xmlbuilder2' to get the public API accessible, which is properly typed.

Seconding this. It would be nice if xmlbuilder2 exported its types.
