Loading HTML files as a string

[azaslonov]

Hi there, I'm trying to setup ts-node with HTML files imported as a string like this:
import template from "./component.html";

Just for context: my application is built using webpack, which has html-loader plugin, but when I try to setup unit tests (with mocha), I can't use that loader, so I get this error:
error TS2307: Cannot find module './component.html' or its corresponding type declarations.

Any help greatly appreciated!
