Support ES6 module syntax along with CommonJS

Question

So I have this simple module:

export default function(){}

if I don't use export default , then the TypeScript compiler will write one warning saying my "module has no default export", which I'd like to avoid.

So to use this module, we would do:

import fn from 'my-module';

that's all good and well, but what if I want to use CommonJS to import it?

Then I have to do this:

const fn = require('my-module').default;

This is pretty awkward for users. Is there any way around this?

There are equivalent:

import tscmultiwatch from 'tsc-multi-watch';
const {default:tscmultiwatch} = require('tsc-multi-watch'); 

That way you can avoid the less pleasant:

const tscmultiwatch = require('tsc-multi-watch').default; 

And tsc-multi-watch might look like

export default function(){

}
