Typescript + requirejs: How to handle circular dependencies?
- by Aymeric Gaurat-Apelli
I am in the process of porting my JS+requirejs code to typescript+requirejs.
One scenario I haven't found how to handle is circular dependencies.
Require.js returns undefined on modules that are also dependent on the current and to solve this problem you can do:
MyClass.js
define(["Modules/dataModel"], function(dataModel){
return function(){
dataModel = require("Modules/dataModel");
...
}
});
Now in typescript, I have:
MyClass.ts
import dataModel = require("Modules/dataModel");
class MyClass {
dataModel: any;
constructor(){
this.dataModel = require("Modules/dataModel"); // <- this kind of works but I lose typechecking
...
}
}
How to call require a second time and yet keep the type checking benefits of typescript? dataModel is a module { ... }
