Using sails.js with TypeScript

Question

I followed the sails.js documentation about using typescript in sails js app.

Not sure why, I get the following error:

error: A hook (`controllers`) failed to load!
error: `include-all` attempted to `require(project\api\controllers\MyController.js)`, but an error occurred::
Details:project\api\controllers\MyController.js:10
import util = require('util');
^^^^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token import

I'm using the same controller as given in the example in the using TypeScript page as mentioned above.

What could have gone wrong?

What version of Sails are you using?

I got the same error and it was because I was using "sails lift" and the documentation said to use "node app.js". Once I used the "node app.js" to start the application it worked as expected.

sails lift

info: Starting app...

error: A hook (`controllers`) failed to load!
error: `include-all` attempted to `require(/research/typeScriptPackage/testing/api/controllers/TsController.ts)`, but an error occurred::
Details:/research/typeScriptPackage/testing/api/controllers/TsController.ts:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) { import util = require('util');

This was the step I missed:

"5. Start your app with node app.js instead of sails lift."

node app.js
