How to define and consume enums in typescript when using AMD?

Question

The following tsc command doesn't create a usable foo.d.ts:

TSC -declaration -m amd foo.ts 

foo.ts:

export enum foo {
    bar
}

foo.d.ts:

export declare enum foo {
    bar,
}

But

///<reference path="./foo.d.ts"/> 

doesn't work until the "export" is removed fro foo.d.ts. Is there another way of declaring a variable of type foo in a second file? Seems to me referencing foo.ts should have worked (it didn't):

///<reference path="./foo.ts"/> 

Am I missing a keyword?

Answer 1

When you are working with external modules in TypeScript ///<reference comments are not relevant.

To import the type into another file you need to do:

import mod = require('./foo'); 
// Then access the enum object as : mod.foo
