Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to have the generated code have export type Something = { ... } instead of interface to support typescript newer language features.
Describe the solution you'd like
A flag for the tool to generate the typescript files with export type instead of export interface
Describe alternatives you've considered
Search and replace? Not sure what my alternatives are...
Additional context
Not sure there's one. This is the feature basically.
I use type to signal that this object is a "POJSO" and interface when I want to signal who ever reads the code that there's a potential inheritance here... but that might just be me :-)
