I have some static data I am trying create a lookup table for so I have an object in a TS file:

newTSFile.ts

export declare module FontList { 
   export DEFAULT_DATA: {
       'james': {
           'age': '23'
        },
        'jack': {
           'age': '22'
        }
   }
}

then in my main TS file, I am importing as

import { FontList } from './newTSFile';

// 
console.log("font list: ", FontList)

however, it still can't find the file when compiling with the error: Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module .../FontList . Not sure what I am doing wrong here in regards to importing
