Trying to use TS in a RequireJS client application.
In one file jquery library is accessed by:
import $ = require("../libs/jquery-3.3.1.slim.min.js"); and in the same directory is the definition file:
jquery-3.3.1.slim.min.d.ts copied (and renamed) from the DefinitelyTyped site.
Now I have 293 errors, all from the definition file, mainly TS2702: 'JQuery' only refers to a type, but is being used as a namespace here.
Tried to add as suggested somewhere: declare module '../libs/jquery-3.3.1.slim.min.js' {export = JQuery} but every variation of it gives an error.
To be able to continue I resorted to the <amd-dependency> method.
