• I have first restarting my IDE and the issue persists.
• I have updated to the latest version of the packages.
• I have read the FAQ and my problem is not listed.

Repro

{
  "root": true,
  "parser": "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  "parserOptions": {
    "sourceType": "module"
  },
  "plugins": ["@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin"],
  "rules": {
    "no-restricted-imports": ["error", {
        "patterns": ["/forbidden-package"]
    }]
  }
}

import something from 'forbidden-package';

Expected Result

I expected to be able to apply different rules to type imports.

Actual Result

There's no way of allowing only type imports from a specific package. An ESLint core rule can't differentiate between them as pure JS doesn't have the import type concept.

Additional Info

The issue is that a core ESLint rule cannot distinguish between type imports & regular imports since there is no type import concept in pure JavaScript. To fix this, we need a new typescript-eslint rule that doesn't exist yet (from what I could see).

If such a rule existed, I'd also expect it to be mentioned in https://github.com/typescript-eslint/typescript-eslint/blob/master/packages/eslint-plugin/ROADMAP.md as the replacement for TSLint's import-blacklist instead of the current core ESLint no-restricted-imports rule.
