I'd like to import a text file:

import text from "./text.txt";

I have a file with:

declare module "*.txt" {
  const content: string;
  export default content;
}

However, ts-node complains with:

error TS2307: Cannot find module './text.txt' or its corresponding type declarations.

Please note that I cannot use the fs module to read the file since I am also using the same code for the web frontend (where the import is resolved by the bundler).

EDIT

Trying to use the proposal in the first answer:

import text from "./text.txt!text";

with

declare module "*!text" {
  const content: string;
  export default content;
}

I get this error:

Cannot find module './text.txt!text' from '...'
