Importing from an ambient module with missing exports in TypeScript

TypeScriptModules & NamespacesAmbient Modulesadvanced

What this snippet does

Even with ambient declarations, TypeScript strictly enforces that imports must match the declared exports of the module.

Expected output

Compile Error: Module '"lib"' has no exported member 'b'.

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.
