TypeScript 1.5: ES6 Module default import of CommonJS 'export =' (.d.ts only issue?) [duplicate]

Question

I'm encountering an issue with:

import moment from 'moment';

moment itself is a function that is a default CommonJS export, as coded here https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/moment/moment.d.ts:

interface MomentStatic {
    (): Moment;
    (date: number): Moment;
    ...
}
declare var moment: moment.MomentStatic;
declare module 'moment' {
    export = moment;
}

The following do not seem to work:

import * from 'moment';
// error TS1005: 'as' expected.
// error TS1005: 'from' expected.

import moment from 'moment';
// error TS1192: External module ''moment'' has no default export.

import {default as moment} from 'moment';
// error TS2305: Module ''moment'' has no exported member 'default'.

The require syntax still works... but I'm trying to avoid that.

import moment = require('moment');

Thoughts?

Answer 1

The syntax you are looking for

import * as moment from "moment";
