[SOLVED] Can't find module 'hbs' with ES6 style import

Can't find module 'hbs' with ES6 style import

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...

Solution

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.
