编译成CommonJS不会产生NodeJS可用的文件

Question

Given the syntax provided here (standard ES6 modules with import/export), and the files below, the typescript compiler (tsc) builds files which will throw Error: Cannot find module when used with NodeJS.

Here's a stripped down example:

---

Input files

src/main.ts

import {Example} from 'example';
let e = new Example();

src/example.ts

export class Example {}

---

Compilation

Note, using the tsc from npm install -g typescript , version 1.5.0-beta , from a windows machine.

tsc --rootDir src --outDir bin

---

Output files

bin/main.js

var example_1 = require('example');
var e = new example_1.Example();

bin/example.js

var Example = (function () {
    function Example() {
    }
    return Example;
})();
exports.Example = Example;

---

Am I doing something incorrectly? I expected main.js to include something like require('example.js') instead.

Answer 1

 import {Example} from 'example'; 

You're importing a module here, not a file. Try

import {Example} from './example';
