TypeScript和Node并导入

Question

I'm trying to use TypeScript inside Node.js with typescript-require . So I init it like:

// index.js, line 1.
require("typescript-require")({ "nodeLib": true });

And so I load the Main.ts file. Like it:

// index.js, line 2.
require("Main.ts").init();

So I have a Dictionary interface:

// Main.ts, line 8.
interface Dictionary<TValue> {
    [index: string]: TValue;
}

When I put this code directly on Main.ts it run fine, like it:

// Main.ts, line 12.
var list: Dictionary<number> = {};

But I like to separate the Dictionary from Main . To allow others files use this interface without duplicate it. And here starts my problem. I don't know how I can do that. I tried a lot things, like use reference and import require , and I receive errors from all methods.

/// Without any import, I get an obvious error; or,
/// <reference path="Dictionary" />; or,
/// <reference path="Dictionary.ts" />; or,
/// <reference path="./Dictionary.ts" />; or,
import Dictionary = require("Dictionary");
>> Main.ts(6,18): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'Dictionary'.

import Dictionary = require("Dictionary.ts");
>> Main.ts(1,29): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'Dictionary'.
>> Main.ts(6,18): error TS2315: Type 'any' is not generic.

In all cases, seems that Main.ts doesn't include the file correctly, so I can't reuse that. So I'm forgetting something?

Before I post it I found the solution. I was trying export interface on file Dictionary.ts like it:

export interface ... { ... }

But I need export = it. Like:

interface Name { ... }
export = Name;
