Hi everyone, does anyone know the convention for declaring typealiases in this case? I declared a single typealias in a file named TypeAliasUtils.kt but ktlint demands that the file should be named identical to the typealias I declared.
Does this mean that I have to create different files for every typealias I declare? that seems a bit inefficient
Any sort of advice or reading material is welcome
thanks!!

I think just by looking at <https://kotlinlang.org/docs/coding-conventions.html#source-file-names>
it seems that as long as you just have one type in the file, the file should be named accordingly according to the kotlin coding conventions.

The moment you put a second type alias in that file, KTLint should not complain anymore I guess.

alternatively you can just disable the filename rule in the top of your `TypeAliasUtils.kt` like this
```// ktlint-disable filename
package your.pkg.name```
