Define AngularJS directive using TypeScript and $inject mechanism

Question

Recently I started refactoring one of the Angular projects I am working on with TypeScript. Using TypeScript classes to define controllers is very convenient and works well

This answer was somewhat based off @Mobiletainment's answer. I only include it because I tried to make it a little more readable and understandable for beginners.

module someModule { 

    function setup() { 
        //usage: 
        angular.module('someApp').directive("someDirective", someDirective); 
    };
    function someDirective(): ng.IDirective{

        var someDirective = {
            restrict: 'E',
            templateUrl: '/somehtml.html',
            controller: SomeDirectiveController,
            controllerAs: 'vm',
            scope: {},
            link: SomeDirectiveLink,
        };

        return someDirective;
    };
    class SomeDirectiveController{

        static $inject = ['$scope'];

        constructor($scope) {

            var dbugThis = true;
            if(dbugThis){console.log("%ccalled SomeDirectiveController()","color:orange");}
        };
    };
    class SomeDirectiveLink{
        constructor(scope: ng.IScope, element: ng.IAugmentedJQuery, attributes: ng.IAttributes, controller){
            var dbugThis = true;
            if(dbugThis){console.log("%ccalled SomeDirectiveLink()","color:orange");}
        }
    };
    setup();
}
