I am trying to convert some Node javascript code to typescript, which means converting require()s to imports.
Here is the original javascript:
const stuff = [
require("./elsewhere/part1"),
require("./elsewhere/part2"),
// ...
];
Node-style require()s return an object, but ES6-style imports don't:
import part1 from "./elsewhere/part1"
// ...
const stuff = [ part1, /* ... */];
What can I do to retain the clean look of the original javascript in typescript?
Thank you for your time.
I think your only option would be to use dynamic imports instead, since they return a Promise, but it has the drawback of making everything asynchronous, even if it isn't:
const stuff = await Promise.all([
import("./elsewhere/part1"),
import("./elsewhere/part2"),
// ...
]);
I'd prefer your original version of static imports.
