Exporting a function on typescript "declaration or statement expected"

Question

I realize this is really simple but typescript seems to have changed a lot in the last years and i just cant get this done with previous answers i found here on stack overflow.

let myfunction = something that returns a function  export myfunction; 

I get an error "declaration or statement expected"

How can i export a function from a really simple ts file to be able to use the function in another ts file?

Answer 1

It seems that

let myfunction = something that returns a function export {myfunction}; 

will do the trick.

Answer 2

Use

export default myfunction 

if you only have this function to export from this file. Otherwise use

export { myfunction, <other exports> } 

to export myfunction along with other types to export
