Typescript can't import function that is exported from a module

This should be such a simple problem but for some reason I can't figure it out.

I have two files:

//Exporter.ts
export module Exporter {
     function foo = { return 1; }
}

//Importer.ts
import { foo } from './Exporter';

This gives me a typescript error Exporter has no exported member foo

But it's clearly being exported. What is the problem here?

You don't need the export module... wrapping code inside Exporter.ts.

The entirety of Exporter.ts became a module as soon as you added the export keyword to it.

Simply write:

// Exporter.ts
export function foo() { return 1; }


// Importer.ts
import { foo } from './Exporter';
