Understanding internal/external modules and import/require Typescript 0.8.2

Question

There are numerous StackOverflow questions that touch on this subject, but either aren\'t quite the same as what I\'m attempting, or are for previous versions of TypeScript.

Answer 1

This is what I make of your situation.

Your modules...

You need to name your file after your module, so a.ts, should actually be m.ts and should contain something like...

import express = module('express');

export class a {
    A: b;
    A2: express.ServerResponse;
}

export class b {
    B: number;
}

You shouldn't be using reference statements here.

When you are running code on nodejs, you can't really split your code across multiple files because the file itself is your module - when you import m = module('m'); it will look for m.js. What you can do is organise your files in a folder structure.

import x = module('m/x'); // m/x.js
import y = module('m/y'); // m/y.js
