Why is it not possible to export a class instance in TypeScript?

Question

I didn't find a way to export a class instance easily in TypeScript. I had to come up with the following workaround to generate proper javascript code.

 var expo = new Logger("default");
 export = expo;

generates

var expo = new Logger("default");
module.exports = expo;

Is there an easier way of achieving this?

Answer 1

Quite by accident, I found this way to export an instance:

class MyClass(){}

export default new MyClass();
