What does “… resolves to a non-module entity and cannot be imported using this construct” mean?

I have some TypeScript files:

MyClass.ts

class MyClass {
  constructor() {
  }

export = MyClass;

MyFunc.ts

Answer 1

I got this error when trying to include a npm debounce package in my project.

When I tried the accepted solution above I got an exception:

Import assignment cannot be used when targeting ECMAScript modules. Consider using 'import * as ns from "mod"', 'import {a} from "mod"', 'import d from "mod"', or another module format instead.

This ended up working:

import debounce from 'debounce'
