Different syntaxes of import/export statements in typescript

There are different syntaxes of export and import statements in typescript. I can write something like that:

export class MyClass {}

Then include that class in other file:

import {MyClass} from "./fileName"

But there are another way to write the same thing. Export:

class MyClass {}
export = MyClass;

Import:

import MyClass = require("./fileName");

My question is: which one of these methods I should use? Which one is more appropriate?

Module systems have existed before ES6. For example nodejs style commonjs and requirejs style amd. TypeScript supports these by providing its own syntax extensions specifically the import = and export = style import/exports.

For modern code prefer the ES6 style import / export i.e individual exports and import / from style syntax.
