Module: Class

For example, when you want to work with JavaScript code which looks like:

ts
const Greeter = require("super-greeter"); const greeter = new Greeter(); greeter.greet();

To handle both importing via UMD and modules:

ts
// Type definitions for [~THE LIBRARY NAME~] [~OPTIONAL VERSION NUMBER~] // Project: [~THE PROJECT NAME~] // Definitions by: [~YOUR NAME~] <[~A URL FOR YOU~]> /*~ This is the module template file for class modules. *~ You should rename it to index.d.ts and place it in a folder with the same name as the module. *~ For example, if you were writing a file for "super-greeter", this *~ file should be 'super-greeter/index.d.ts' */ // Note that ES6 modules cannot directly export class objects. // This file should be imported using the CommonJS-style: // import x = require('[~THE MODULE~]'); // // Alternatively, if --allowSyntheticDefaultImports or // --esModuleInterop is turned on, this file can also be // imported as a default import: // import x from '[~THE MODULE~]'; // // Refer to the TypeScript documentation at // https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/modules.html#export--and-import--require // to understand common workarounds for this limitation of ES6 modules. /*~ If this module is a UMD module that exposes a global variable 'myClassLib' when *~ loaded outside a module loader environment, declare that global here. *~ Otherwise, delete this declaration. */ export as namespace myClassLib; /*~ This declaration specifies that the class constructor function *~ is the exported object from the file */ export = MyClass; /*~ Write your module's methods and properties in this class */ declare class MyClass { constructor(customGreeting?: string); greet: void; myMethod(opts: MyClass.MyClassMethodOptions): number; } /*~ If you want to expose types from your module as well, you can *~ place them in this block. *~ *~ Note that if you decide to include this namespace, the module can be *~ incorrectly imported as a namespace object, unless *~ --esModuleInterop is turned on: *~ import * as x from '[~THE MODULE~]'; // WRONG! DO NOT DO THIS! */ declare namespace MyClass { export interface MyClassMethodOptions { width?: number; height?: number; } }
