TypeScript error: Module ''validate.js'' has no default export

[kristianmandrup]

I'm submitting a bug report

• Library Version: 0.7.0
• aurelia-framework version: 1.0.0

Please tell us about your environment:

• Operating System: OSX 10.x
• Node Version: 6.2.0
• NPM Version: 3.8.9
• JSPM OR Webpack AND Version JSPM 0.16.41
• Language: TypeScript 2.1-dev

Current behavior:

node_modules/aurelia-validatejs/dist/aurelia-validatejs.d.ts(8,8): error TS1192: Module ''validate.js'' has no default export.

Visual Studio code also complains with a red underline under validate constant in import validate from 'validate.js';

Expected/desired behavior:

That it can load aurelia-validatejs type definitions without error

I have a similar issue also, but with WebPack.

Running locally is fine, but building for deployment throws an error in WebPack

I have similar issue but with skeleton-typescript-webpack both locally and deployment. @am2software how did you set it up so you don't get that error on npm start ?

I had a similar issue for sortablejs which I solved like this.

import sortable = require('sortablejs');

So try:

import validate = require('validate');

@kristianmandrup that has resolved my issue

in aurelia.validatejs.d.ts change import validate from 'validate.js'; into import validate = require('validate.js');

Cute ;) I had to do a similar fix for sortable.js, renaming the export variable in the d.ts file

Could this fix be included in next version of aurelia.validatejs.d.ts?
