babel plugin-transfrom-typescript does not support export = syntax

[KjaerBL]

Hello there,

My typescript compiler is babel and using babel plugin-transform-typescript. I believe changes on this #14 would effect babel loader and started get error above.

Babel clearly warned that export = can't work for them.
https://babeljs.io/docs/en/babel-plugin-transform-typescript#caveats

I'd like to make PR for it but want to ask your opinion because you've recently removed it and introduce export = style.

What do you suggest to change? I am more than happy to contribute.
(maybe pass loader as parameter and change export expression accordingly?)

Ups! that was mine work github, anyways I'll continue over my independent github account now on. Sorry about cross account confusion.

AFAIK, babel shouldn't really do anything with d.ts files - d.ts files are declarations only, there's no actual output and babel does not do any type checking. @Kjaer would it be try just ignoring d.ts files in babel config?

I'm also having the same problem and making babel exclude these files is not doing anything - now typescript is not picking it up. Babel is needed because it feeds the files to typescript

Hi everyone who still has this issue. Just added a reply to @besrezen90's PR #28 (review)

babel really should touch these files. The generated files are only use for type checking, babel does not do any typechecking so these files should ideally be just ignored for babel-loader

I am failing to replicate the issue and need some help with that.
Could you please double check that whether you include d.ts in import string, eg:

import styles from "./example.css.d.ts";
// vs
import styles from "./example.css";

In my setup, everything works fine when I don't include .d.ts, but I see the issue when d.ts is included.

Or it'd really help if anyone can create a sample project reproducing the issue ❤️

I'll do ✋
