Typescript import functions into existing module's scope

Question

Is there a way I can import a module(?) (a set of functions) in typescript and be able to refer to these functions without the Module. prefix?

For example:

import * as Operations from './Operations';

Can I reference Operations.example() as example()? Essentially merging the 'namespace'?

What about just importing example from ./Operations? can you please show how Operations is? does it have a default export? — briosheje

I am free to define the Operations file in any way. But essentially I want to define a set of functions that can be imported anywhere. — Chris Stryczynski

You can do:

import { example } from './Operations';

This assumes you are exporting example from the file as a named export.

// ./Operations
export function example () {...}

This requires I write out all the functions, is there way to specify all of the exported functions?

@ChrisStryczynski unfortunately no. If you have each as a named export you either need to specify each in a {} or use import * as namespace
