node.js - Matching typescript definition module declaration to node module importing -

i have installed popular d3 library through npm.

npm install d3 tsd install d3 -save tsc 

in home.ts file, have imported module:

import * d3 'd3/d3';

this compiles correctly, semantic error:

app/home/components/home.ts(2,21): error ts2307: cannot find module 'd3/d3'.

also, lose of syntax highlighting/type-ahead info in ide.

the original d3.d.ts file provided tsd declares module so:

declare module 'd3' {     export = d3; } 

if change module 'd3/d3', works fine:

declare module 'd3/d3' {     export = d3; } 

so, i'm having hard time getting both of need:

import * d3 'd3'; gives me type definitions expect, looks module in node_modules/d3.js incorrect.

import * d3 'd3/d3'; finds correct module because path right, lose type definitions because module declaration doesn't match.

how can these 2 things match can import module without losing type definitions?

fyi: using typescript 1.7.5, , moduleresolution set node.

you need tell loader things. in systemjs.config.js, add following mapping in map object:

var map= { ... ... 'd3':  'node_modules/d3' }; 

the d3.js file indeed located in node_modules/d3 , above mapping let loader find file. now, can import in components as:

import * d3 'd3';
