How to import an interface from lib.dom.d.ts?

Question

I need to define a Element interface in my code:

interface Element {
    // my declaration
}

But, I also need to access the Element type of lib.dom.d.ts.

How could I do?

Answer 1

use this

export type DOMElement = globalThis.Element

lib.dom has already imported Element type for you, you can explicitly access that from globalThis

Answer 2

Export your interface first to be able to import it because all definition files should export types and interfaces.

export interface Element {
    // my declaration
}

And then import as will

import {Element} from 'path'
import {Element as ABC} from 'path'
