typescript: import all classes not into new namespace

Question

I have several classes in all.ts module:

export class TemperatureSensor {
    temperature: number;
}

export class Chasis {
    id: string;
    type: string;
    ambientTemperature: TemperatureSensor
}

export class Computer {
    model: string;
    serial: string;
    chasis: Chasis;
}

In another module I need to import all of them - I use

import * as models from 'all';

And I can access classes with new models.Computer() as the example.

Quesion: how can I import all classes from all.ts without namespace? So I'd like to use new Computer()?

That's not possible. Read here for the possible ways to import.

Your best option is to use named imports that specify what you need in the file:

import {Computer} from './all';

new Computer();

You can deconstruct as in

import * as models from 'all';
const {Computer} = models;

I don't see the point. Isn't this just a verbose way of doing a named import? – David Sherret Jul 20 '16 at 18:46
