In TypeScript, you can identify if an import refers to a directory or a module by looking for the presence of an index.ts
or index.d.ts
file within the directory.
By default, when importing a directory in TypeScript, it will look for an index.ts
or index.d.ts
file within the directory. If found, TypeScript will assume that the import refers to the directory as a whole, and will use the exported members from that file as the default export for the import.
For example, if you have a directory called foo
, and it contains an index.ts
file with the following code:
export const foo = 'foo';
export const bar = 'bar';
You can import the foo
directory in another TypeScript file like this:
import {foo, bar} from './foo';
console.log(foo, bar); // 'foo' 'bar'
Alternatively, if there is no index.ts
or index.d.ts
file within the directory, TypeScript will assume that the import refers to a module with the same name as the directory, and will look for a module declaration file (.d.ts
) or an implementation file (.ts
) within the directory with the same name as the imported module.
For example, if you have a directory called foo
, and within that directory there is a file called foo.d.ts
with the following code:
export const foo: string;
export const bar: number;
You can import the foo
module in another TypeScript file like this:
import {foo, bar} from './foo';
console.log(foo, bar); // 'foo' 1
Note that the imported members can have different types based on the definitions in the module declaration file.
