Question

If I have this TypeScript code:

module Foo
{
    var x : string ="value";
    module Bar
    {
        export var x = x;
    }
}

It compiles to the following JavaScript:

var Foo;
(function (Foo) {
    var x = "value";
    var Bar;
    (function (Bar) {
        Bar.x = Bar.x;
    })(Bar || (Bar = {}));

})(Foo || (Foo = {}));

The problem is the line that says Bar.x = Bar.x. How can I set Bar.x to Foo.x? Is it required to export Foo.x so I can say Bar.x = Foo.x?

Answer 1

It is definitely possible if you remove the ambiguity in the naming:

module Foo
{
    var a : string = "My Value";
    export module Bar
    {
        export var x = a;
    }
}

alert(Foo.Bar.x);
