TypeScript rejecting type definition

Using mini-signals as an apparent sub-dependency of pixi.js in a stencil.js-based project, this line of code is causing a rather strict build configuration to fail:

https://github.com/Hypercubed/mini-signals/blob/f06098f3793e90cdd7432c8ecc62f5304eb4f45d/typings/mini-signals.d.ts#L19

Error is:

[ ERROR ]  TypeScript: ./node_modules/mini-signals/typings/mini-signals.d.ts:19:2
           An export assignment cannot be used in a module with other exported elements.

     L19:       export = MiniSignal;
     L20:  }

I can safely remove this line to circumvent this build obstacle, but I assume this isn’t commonly intended solution.

I came across this issue when researching how to solve the same problem that I’m having with pixi.js and this dependency. See my related issue here: https://github.com/pixijs/pixi.js/issues/7305

When I add in the workaround to my tsconfig.json file it does not resolve the problem for me.

Hello’,

Workaround: Add following configuration to the tsconfig.json (compilerOptions):

    "baseUrl": "./",
    "paths": {
      "mini-signals": [
        "node_modules/resource-loader/typings/mini-signals.d.ts"
      ]
    }
