Does TypeScript allow type aliases?

Question

So I wish I could use an alias to an ugly type that looks like this:

Answer 1

TypeScript supports imports, e.g.:

module A {
    export class c {
        d: any;
     }
}

module B {
    import moduleA = A;

    var e: moduleA.c = new moduleA.c();
}

module B2 {
    import Ac = A.c;

    var e: Ac = new Ac();
}

Update 1

Since TS 1.4 we can use type declarations:

type MyHandler = (myArgument: string) => void;

var handler: MyHandler;

Since TS 1.6 we can use local type declarations:

function f() {
    if (true) {
        interface T { x: number }
        let v: T;
        v.x = 5;
    }
    else {
        interface T { x: string }
        let v: T;
        v.x = "hello";
    }
}
