I initially defined a node.js module in the following way:
function sayHello(){
// do something
}
module.exports = sayHello;
After transitioning to typescript, I created sayHello.ts like this:
function sayHello():void {
// do something
}
export default sayHello;
This change allowed me to import from other .ts files using:
import sayHello from "./sayHello";
However, for legacy .js files, they now need to be updated with require('./sayHello.js').default when exporting.
Is there a way to combine ES6 imports and ES5 require functionality?
tsconfig.json
