title: How to use node assert module with typescript?
body: <p>I can't get typescript to compile this one-line file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import assert = require("assert");
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here's the command i tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ tsc --module commonjs --moduleResolution node index.ts 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can i import the <code>assert</code> or <code>http</code> or anything that ships with node?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit: Error Message</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>index.ts(1,25): error TS2307: Cannot find module 'assert'.
  </code></pre>
