title: How to require jquery via AMD in TypeScript
body: <p>How do I require the jquery AMD module for my TypeScript module.  For example let's say directory structure for scripts looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre>
  
      jquery-1.8.2.js
      jquery.d.ts
      module.ts
      require.js
  
  </pre>
  
  <p>I want the generated js file from module.ts to require jquery-1.8.2.js be loaded via require.js.</p>
  
  <p>Currently I have:</p>
  
  <pre>
  
      import jquery = module('jquery') 
  
  </pre>
  
  <p>This results in <b>The name "jquery" does not exist in the current scope.</b></p>
