three.js - Using library extensions with TypeScript + requirejs -

i'm messing around three.js , socket.io make little game - i'm wanting use orbitcontrols extension three.js (i've used before in non-ts project) camera controls.

the problem client can't seem find (it compiles fine):

uncaught typeerror: undefined not function 

at line:

this.cameracontrols = new three.orbitcontrols(this.camera, this.renderer.domelement);  

i'm including in ts file using:

///<reference path="../typings/threejs/three-orbitcontrols.d.ts"/> import orbitcontrols = require("three-orbitcontrols"); 

at bottom of three-orbitcontrols.d.ts file have usual export seem need @ bottom of typing files:

declare module 'three-orbitcontrols' {     export=three.orbitcontrols; } 

but i'm not sure if right format, i've tried few things directing requirejs right file in config (since filename bit different):

paths: {     "three-orbitcontrols": "three.orbitcontrols" } 

interestingly, after compiling gulp (using amd), three-orbitcontrols not appear in require @ top of resulting .js file.

my question is: how include 'extension' library library have ts , requirejs? there form of merge need do? need manually merge d.ts , js files? (i hope not!)

thanks!

how include 'extension' library library have ts , requirejs?

since calling three. here : new three.orbitcontrols. need put import orbitcontrols = require("three-orbitcontrols"); on three so:

import orbitcontrols = require("three-orbitcontrols"); three.orbitcontrols = orbitcontrols; 

note: there isn't idiomatic way of doing since there isn't idiomatic way javascript libraries this. solution here specific use case , extension.
