Continuing on with the theme of me using my illustrious blog as a dumping ground:
This runtime error puzzled me. It compiled cleanly in Typescript, but at runtime raised an error. It shouldn't have even been compiled in the first place. So what's the deal?
`Error: Cannot find module '../../../typings/foobar'`
Well, the deal is pretty simple. The typing file contained an enum data structure. Since those get converted to actual code, that meant that the compiler emitted a 'require' statement for the type definition file, which meant that Node tried to load it... can't load a d.ts file at runtime, can you?
