Wildcards in module names are not supported

Rule arkts-no-module-wildcards

Severity: error

ArkTS does not support wildcards in module names because in the language import is a compile-time, not a runtime feature. Use ordinary export syntax instead.

TypeScript

    // Declaration:
    declare module "*!text" {
        const content: string
        export default content
    }

    // Consuming code:
    import fileContent from "some.txt!text"

ArkTS

    // Declaration:
    declare namespace N {
        function foo(x: number): number
    }

    // Consuming code:
    import * as m from "module"
    console.log("N.foo called: ", N.foo(42))
