Importing Chai in Typescript

Question

I'm trying to use chai in typescript.

Chai's javascript example shows this as:

var should = require('chai').should();

I downloaded the type definition:

tsd install chai

...referenced the file, tried to import

/// <reference path='../typings/chai/chai.d.ts' />
import should = require('chai').should();

I get:

error TS1005: ';' expected

...any idea how to do this?

Answer 1

import { should } from 'chai';
should();

Answer 2

The tests for the chai typings do the following:

import chai = require('chai');
var should = chai.should();

Does that work for you?

Answer 3

import { expect } from 'chai';
import 'chai/register-should';

to use both expect and should
