I have some files containing TypeScript classes, defined like this

textBox.ts

export class textBox {
//Variables here
//Constructor
constructor(idObj: number, textContent: string) {
    //More code
  }
}

I have another file, called userSlide.ts, which imports the class textBox like this

userSlide.ts

 import { textBox } from "./textBox";

When I run my code, I get this error

ReferenceError: exports is not defined

Edit: Here are the first few lines of the compiled file userSlide.js

"use strict";
exports.__esModule = true;
var textBox_1 = require("./textBox");
var slide_1 = require("./slide");

I'm still new to TypeScript and have no idea how to fix this issue. I tried some other things, but to no effect

I'm using Visual Studio Code and have Node.js installed. I compiled them using the tsc command

Are you using any module loader? – serkan Dec 27 '17 at 14:06
I've tried with Webpack, but I cant seem to get it working – lyubolp Dec 27 '17 at 14:58
What are your filenames? Do they end with .ts? How do you build it? etc.. – serkan Dec 27 '17 at 16:35
Edited to add the info. – lyubolp Dec 27 '17 at 20:08
did you take a look at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43042889/typescript-referenceerror-exports-is-not-defined ? – Reza Dec 27 '17 at 20:55
@RezaRahmati - Yes, I tried commenting "module":"commnojs", and still no result. Also added the first line of code that tsc generates – lyubolp Dec 28 '17 at 07:43
Which version of node.js is that? – przemo_li Dec 28 '17 at 07:47
node -v returns v8.9.3 – lyubolp Dec 28 '17 at 08:49
