How would I define a class on an interface property in typescript?

Question

I'm attempting to create a definition file for an API provided by a third party (Skuid) and have run into an issue representing skuid.ui.Editor where Editor is a class defined somewhere else by Skuid. How would I inform the typescript compiler that new skuid.ui.Editor() is indeed valid?

You would normally write something like this:

declare namespace skuid.ui {
    class Editor {
        constructor();
        // Methods and properties here
    }
}

That did the trick, thanks! I hadn't previously heard of the "namespace" keyword, something new to look into. – patrickjtoy Dec 02 '15 at 17:48
Note that `declare namepsace skuid.ui` is exactly the same as `declare module skuid.ui` -- you may see `module` used more often in older declaration files – Ryan Cavanaugh Dec 02 '15 at 18:06
