Creating a wildcard module declaration in TypeScript

TypeScriptModules & NamespacesAmbient Modulesadvanced

What this snippet does

Wildcard ambient modules are useful for typing Webpack or Vite loaders that import non-JS assets as strings.

Expected output

Compile Error: Cannot find module 'data.txt!text'

Why practise typing this

Typing modules & namespaces code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation TypeScript uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
