Support for import es6

Using angular2 aand TypeScript trying to do:

import * as S from 'string';

will not work.
this will work but its a hack

var S = S['default'] as StringJS;

and even with the above TypeScript is not happy with InteliSence

ok this is the solution:

declare module "string" {
    var S: {
        (o: any): StringJS;
        default: {
            (o: any): StringJS
        };
        VERSION: string;
        TMPL_OPEN: string;
        TMPL_CLOSE: string;
    }
    export = S;
}

declare var S:{(o: any): StringJS};

and to import you do:

import * as S from 'string';
window['StringJS'] = S.default;

and to use:

var str = StringJS('  String   \t libraries are   \n\n\t fun\n!  ').collapseWhitespace().s;
console.log(str);

but it would be better if the lib exported the default so no need for an extra step.

I'd like to use this in my react native project. Why can't I do something like this?

import {
    capitalize
} from 'string';

I get:

Yep, also want import { humanize } from 'string' :(
