Is it possible to import a class from a different project or module in TypeScript?

I am attempting to modify the build task in Typescript within this specific project: https://github.com/Microsoft/app-store-vsts-extension/blob/master/Tasks/app-store-promote/app-store-promote.ts

I am looking to incorporate an import similar to the one below (or any other method that allows me to utilize the methods in the ios-signing-common module):

import sign = require('ios-signing-common/ios-signing-common');

This import is used in another file from a different project: https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-tasks/blob/master/Tasks/XamariniOS/xamarinios.ts, however, that project also contains the ios-signing-common. https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-tasks/blob/master/Tasks/Common/ios-signing-common/ios-signing-common.ts

Is it feasible to import the ios-signing-common module into the app-store-promote file?

I have attempted adding the github path "Microsoft/vsts-tasks" as a dependency in package.json, and it downloads into node_modules, but I still can't resolve the ios-signing-common module.

Any guidance towards finding a solution would be greatly appreciated. :)

Answer №1

After some research, I realized I needed to delve deeper into understanding module resolution.

To resolve the issue, I included vsts-tasks as a dependency in my package.json file:

"dependencies": {
    "vsts-task-lib": "^0.9.7",
    "vsts-tasks": "Microsoft/vsts-tasks"
  },

Next, I updated the require path like so:

import sign = require('Agent.Tasks/Tasks/Common/ios-signing-common/ios-signing-common');

And voila! It's now functioning properly!

UPDATE - Although it was able to compile, when executed, the script encountered an error because it couldn't locate 

Agent.Tasks/Tasks/Common/ios-signing-common/ios-signing-common
.
