systemjs plugin import, typescript says module not found

[ghost]

typescript doesn't like import somethingHTML from 'components/something/something.html!text';complains it can't find a module.

import 'components/something/something.html!text';
would work but not usable since I can't assign it to the template property of a component in angular.

using
jspm install text=github:systemjs/plugin-text

What's odd is importing css via the systemjs loader works fine...

I think you will need to declare an ambient module, something like this I think:

declare module 'components/something/something.html!text' {
    var text: string;
    export = text;
}

@kitsonk that works but that means I will need to do that for every template file.

This might be an issue @guybedford can solve in the plugin.

This is not something that systemJs or an extension can solve for you. There is a suggestion for the issue in #2709.
