Re-exporting a type when the '--isolatedModules' flag is provided requires using 'export type'.ts

I have created multiple interfaces and want to ship them all from a common index.ts file as shown below:

--pages
------index.interface.ts
--index.ts
Now In my index.ts I am exporting something like:
export { timeSlots } from './pages/index.interface';
whereas my index.interface.ts look like this:
export interface timeSlots {
  shivam: string;
  daniel: string;
  jonathan: string;
Now when I try to do so, it says me:
Re-exporting a type when the '--isolatedModules' flag is provided requires using 'export type'.ts(1205)
Not sure why this error shows up, can someone help?
You just need to use this syntax when re-exporting types:
export type { timeSlots } from './pages/index.interface';
//     ^^^^
// Use the "type" keyword
Or, if using a version of TypeScript >= 4.5, you can use the type modifier before each exported type identifier instead:
export { type timeSlots } from './pages/index.interface';
//       ^^^^
// Use the "type" keyword
The second approach allows you to mix type and value identifiers in a single export statement:
export { greet, type GreetOptions } from './greeting-module';
Where greeting-module.ts might look like this:
export type GreetOptions = {
  name: string;
export function greet(options: GreetOptions): void {
  console.log(`Hello ${options.name}!`);
                How would I do this in an AWS Code build environment? For example, I am getting this error from a library, and upon installation, it offers this typescript error.
