Why use module.exports over export #83

Closed aaroncolaco closed 6 years ago

aaroncolaco commented 6 years ago

In app.ts is there a reason to use

module.exports = {}

over Typescript's

export {}
MPankajArun commented 6 years ago

Well, “exports” itself is never returned! It is just a reference to module.exports; a convenience variable to help module authors write less code.

@aaroncolaco I've added PR with TS2.7 and ECMA script modules support enabled: #85
