Duplicate identifier 'Node', how to let Typescript know my file is a module

[carlosdubus]

I'm building a module and I want to name a class 'Node'. Looks like 'Node' already exists in the global scope. A module file has an isolated scope, so it will not replace the global 'Node' class. How can I tell typescript that a file is a module so it does not complain about duplicates?

models.ts:
class Node {}

If I add export to the Node class, the warning is gone.

tsc --version
Version 1.8.9

I just realized Typescript needs at least one export to know that a file is a module. My bad.

(at least one export or import)
