I'm doing this in TypeScript, but tried it in vanilla JS as well with the same error. I've pulled down two modules: express and hbs. I'm trying to use the ES6 import
syntax like this:
import * as http from 'http';
import * as express from 'express';
import hbs from 'hbs';
The last line gives me an error saying it can't find module hbs. I'm looking right at it... I can see it just fine. However when I replace the line with the older CommonJS syntax:
var hbs = require('hbs');
It works fine... what gives? Still on the learning curve with ES6...
I was experiecing a similar problem. The syntax is correct ES6 indeed. Good news is that the problem seems to have been fixed already in the development version of the typescript compiler 0.8: try 'npm install typescript@next -g' and then running the compiler again.
