Confusion with Reference and ImportClause #14

fuhrmanator commented 1 year ago

What is the difference finally between FamixTypeScriptReference and FamixTypeScriptImportClause?

VerveineJ has a test for References: https://github.com/moosetechnology/VerveineJ/blob/4a3d9974e8fb3f8ba6430568c3625f06e09492a6/tests/fr/inria/verveine/extractor/java/VerveineJTest_ReferenceInstanceOf.java#L31-L36

the import clause would be for module import
