Invoking an exported function from module in TypeScript

Question

The question is a simple one.

Here is how the module exports the function.

exports = module.exports = debug.debug = debug;

Here is how the ES5 module consumes it.

var debug = require('debug')('http')

Now in Typescript it's a bit different.

import * as debug from 'debug';

This returns a strange object that I have never seen before, a nested object without a key value pair.

{ [Function: debug]
  coerce: [Function: coerce],
  disable: [Function: disable],
  // More properties go here
}

How do I invoke the function debug

Answer 1

I found it digging through the documentation

const log = debug('http');
log.log = console.log.bind(console); // binding to console
