Feature Request: export Root from the types

[Allain55]

Hi,
It would be great if the type Root would be accessible outside. Eg. when I pass around the result of the load method I'd need to use the Root type, the default export is not good in this case.

Can you provide some code.

I believe you wanted use cheerio.load

const $ = cheerio.load(rootElement)

but you didn't know how to get that rootElement ?

Hi,
yes I want to use the type of the result of cheerio.load, for example in a ts file:

import {Root} from 'cheerio';

function getHtml($: Root) {
    return $.root();
}

Root would be exported in types/index.d.ts. Now only CheerioAPI is exported.
The Cheerio interface could be useful too

For now, there is a solution in #1540. I agree that having this interface would be useful and we might add this in the future.
