eslint error Emitter not found in 'mitt' import/named

[barnholdy]

import mitt, { Emitter } from 'mitt'

gives me eslint error Emitter not found in 'mitt' import/named (https://github.com/benmosher/eslint-plugin-import/blob/master/docs/rules/named.md)

Where it should work (see: https://github.com/developit/mitt/blob/master/src/index.ts#L15).

Any ideas what is going wrong?

// .eslintrc.js

module.exports = {
  root: true,
  env: {
    browser: true,
    node: true,
  },
  extends: [
    '@nuxtjs/eslint-config-typescript',
    'prettier',
    'plugin:prettier/recommended',
    'plugin:nuxt/recommended',
  ],
  plugins: ['prettier'],
  rules: {},
}

This is the expected behavior of eslint-plugin-import, see this PR:
import-js/eslint-plugin-import#1726

The recommendation from the maintainers of eslint-plugin-import is to use type imports, or disable import/named globally:

import mitt from 'mitt'
import type { Emitter } from 'mitt'  // this is a type-only import and will be ignored by `import/named`
