The documentation regarding export = and import = require() at https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/modules.html is wrong. It says:

When exporting a module using export =, TypeScript-specific import module = require("module") must be used to import the module.

Whereas I've been able to import from and import as for modules that export using export =.

I'm not sure this is correct as looking back I was using a custom implementation of a TS to JS transpiler. Maybe the docs were actually correct here.
