Typescript AMD implementation bad with Javascript / RequireJS -

if have ts module:

export function say(){     console.log("said"); } 

and compile amd option can use quite ts client :

import foo = module("tsmodule") foo.say();  export var x = 123; 

however if have javascript equivalent ts module:

define(["require", "exports"], function(require, exports) {     function say() {         console.log("said");     }     exports.say = say; }) 

there no way use easily. simplest possible solution:

// of course can use .d.ts requirejs beside point declare var require:any;  // fail error module has not been loaded yet context // http://requirejs.org/docs/errors.html#notloaded var useme = require("jsmodule") useme.say();  export var x = 123; import foo = module("tsmodule") foo.say(); 

fails because of error http://requirejs.org/docs/errors.html#notloaded . since "jsmodule" not passed define call in generated typescript.

the 2 workarounds have

• don't use import / export (language features lost)
• use require([]) (still can't export depends on require([]) call)

have limitations : https://github.com/basarat/typescript-requirejs . there way? if not can vote here : https://typescript.codeplex.com/workitem/948 :)

if want load in javascript module use (badly documented) amd-dependency tag:

/// <amd-dependency path="jsmodule" /> 

this put jsmodule in dependency array of define call.

and provide declaration file in state

module useme {     function say(): void; }
