Export default const with Typescript

Question

I have this in a TS file:

exports.default = module.exports;

(This is to support both Node style and TS style imports.)

Is there a way to create the above line of code with pure TS instead of JS?

I tried this:

export default const = module.exports;

and that does not transpile.

Answer 1

Somewhat counterintuitively, the answer appears to be:

export default module.exports;

that's it.

however, in order to get any .d.ts files to behave correctly, you actually are best off doing this:

let $exports = module.exports;
export default $exports;
