Declaration file for class-module (TypeScript)

I use a node module that's not found by typings and doesn't exist in definelytyped.

the basic use of the module is:

import * as SomeClass from 'some-module';  var someObject = new SomeClass("some string"); someObject.someMethod(); 

As you can see, this module exports a class as its default. I haven't figured out how to write the declaration file for it.

This is the best I managed to do:

declare module 'some-module' {     export default class SomeClass {         constructor (someArg: string);         someMethod(): void;     } } 

BTW it does work JavaScriptly. It's only the TypeScript bothers me.

Any ideas how to solve that?

For the declaration, you need to do this:

declare module 'some-module' {     class SomeClass {         constructor (someArg: string);         someMethod(): void;     }     export = SomeClass; } 

But I'll add more to this answer if you are tranpiling to ES5 (the right way).

If you just want to avoid TypeScript error and do not worry about ItelliSense just declare your class library like that in the begining of you file for example:

declare var SomeClass: any;
