Errors with function named readonly

[m4rvr]

Hey!

I'm using Vite with Vue 3. Vue exports a function named readonly which returns a wrapped Readonly type. Using it as a return-type with ReturnType<typeof readonly> throws an error Unexpected ">".

I think the problem here is the reserved readonly keyword in interfaces for example because it works when I rename it in the import (import { readonly as readOnly } from 'vue').

Is this a problem with esbuild or maybe a bug in Vite itself?

Thanks for reporting this. It's definitely a bug with esbuild. The problem is that for typeof readonly, the readonly identifier is incorrectly treated as a type operator. I'll fix this shortly.

This should be fixed in version 0.5.19.
