javascript - Referencing a file (module) in Typescript using AMD -

i new typescript , module handling. in project coding in typescript developing browser library. therefore using amd. following tsconfig.json file.

{   "compileroptions": {     "target": "es5",     "outdir": "out",     "module": "amd"   },   "files": [     "src/main.ts",     "src/communication.ts",     ...   ] } 

file communication.ts is:

export module myproj.dataexchange {   export interface communication {     connect(uri: string): void;     close(): void;     status: int;   } } 

referencing components other files

i want use communication in main.ts:

import communication = require('./communication'); export module myproj {   export class communicator      implements communication.myproj.dataexchange.communication {     ...   } } 

i avoid using whole signature communication.myproj.dataexchange.communication. tried like:

import communication = require('./communication').myproj.dataexchange; 

but did not work.

my questions

i have feeling doing wrong in here. here questions:

• am doing things way supposed done?
• how avoid using whole name imported component?
• in case might tell me not use module, need separate components namespaces. how correctly set namespaces in case doing wrong?

in typescript 1.4 have been introduced type aliases.

your code might adapted use aliases this:

import communication = require('./communication') type communication = communication.myproj.dataexchange.communication; export module myproj {   export class communicator      implements communication {     ...   } }
