How do I import other TypeScript files?

Question

When using the TypeScript plugin for vs.net, how do I make one TypeScript file import modules declared in other TypeScript files?

file 1:

module moo
         


        

Answer 1

From TypeScript version 1.8 you can use simple import statements just like in ES6:

import { ZipCodeValidator } from "./ZipCodeValidator";

let myValidator = new ZipCodeValidator();

Old answer: From TypeScript version 1.5 you can use tsconfig.json: http://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/tsconfig-json.html

It completely eliminates the need of the comment style referencing.

Older answer:

You need to reference the file on the top of the current file.

You can do this like this:

/// 
/// 

class Foo { }

etc.

These paths are relative to the current file.

Your example:

/// 

class bar extends moo.foo
{
}
