Cannot re-export type definitions

[FrozenKiwi]

I'm sure this is user-error, as I would think this is the most common use-case for this library.

I generate TS from spec, with output

 namespace MyLib {
    export interface ...
 }

Then compile & publish this as my own internal types definition to be included in other projects. However, I can't re-import - when importing the file I see "file is not a module"

To fix I manually add in an "export " at the start of the file:

export namespace MyLib { ... }

And this works.

Is this appropriate? Is there a better way to resolve this?

@FrozenKiwi out of curiosity, what version of TypeScript are you using? In my projects on 3.3.3333 I’m able to use MyLib.interface without any importing/exporting.

I should add that I typically place my specs inside the include path in tsconfig.json. I wonder if that makes a difference, too.

Either way, there seems to be a helpful step missing in the README for sure.

@FrozenKiwi thanks to another contributor with this problem, you can now export the namespace by passing --export to the CLI (refer to the README). Update to the new npm version v1.1.3 to use this option. And let me know if this solves your problem!
