Cannot find namespace 'fs' about dts-bundle-generator

[timocov]

Hi @Scorpio1337,

actually this is second known limitation (see https://github.com/timocov/dts-bundle-generator/blob/master/README.md#known-limitations). I believe this issue can be solved along with other issues marked with https://github.com/timocov/dts-bundle-generator/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Adetect-import-path-problem label.

As workaround you can try to import without renaming, e.g. import { Stats } from 'fs', but it can doesn't work in some cases.

I have a similar issue.

For example, there are some helper functions in a.ts, I hope to export a as a property from b.

but dts-bundle-generator can't do that.

a.ts

export function doSomething1() {
}

export function doSomething2() {
}

b.ts

import * as a from './a'

export default {
  a: a
}

@musicode what error you get? It looks your issue is about 2nd known limitation (see https://github.com/timocov/dts-bundle-generator#known-limitations).

[musicode]

yes, It's 2nd known limitation, but I think it's maybe useful.

for my scenario, I have a module a that define some helper functions.

then I want to export a from entry point.

b.ts

import * as a from './a'

export default {
  a: a
}

then I can use it like below:

import b from 'b'
b.a.doSomething1()

It's a common case, I need type suggestion in my vscode.but dts-bundle-generator will report a is not define.

so i have to write a declaration file manually, and set the type for a.

import * as a from './a'
import aType from './aType'

export default {
  a: aType: a
}

It's ok, but it's so trouble and hard to maintenance.

Thank you guys ... As I sad, I use right now "hack" with require.
It is not good because I must use is really often. :D
