Problems:
- Can not easily specify a loader extension for json or css (e.g. `json!a.json); currently every resources needs to have its own declaration
- Problem with migrating to .ts, with modules that do not have typings, and users just want to get by
Proposal:
-
Allow for short hand module declarations:
to be equivalent to:
declare module "foo" {
var _temp: any;
export = _temp;
}
-
Allow module names to have a wildcard character and match that in lookup
declare module "json!*" {
let json: any;
export default json;
}
import d from "json!a/b/bar.json";
// lookup:
// json!a/b/bar.json
// json!*
-
Additional the module "*" would allow for matching all unknown modules in the system, which can be used as a way to suppress all missing module errors
declare module "*";
import d from "some\unknown\module"; // no error, d is any
-
Report no-implicit-any errors for modules declared using the shorthand notion
Open issue: is this reported on declaration or use sites
