Import assignment should work with esnext targets

Use Cases

JS modules loaders for Node might not support importing CJS with import statements, so you would use require to import them. But we'd still like to bring in their types. This is what import assignment is designed for, it's just disallowed with esnext targets.

Examples

This:

import * as m from './a-module.js';
import cjs = require('some-cjs');

should emit:

import * as m from './a-module.js';
const cjs = require('some-cjs');

Checklist

My suggestion meets these guidelines:

• This wouldn't be a breaking change in existing TypeScript / JavaScript code
• This wouldn't change the runtime behavior of existing JavaScript code
• This could be implemented without emitting different JS based on the types of the expressions
• This isn't a runtime feature (e.g. new expression-level syntax)

Không có tệp hoặc bài kiểm thử nào được nêu tên. Hãy bắt đầu bằng cách lần theo cách TypeScript xử lý import-assignment cho các đích esnext, sau đó so sánh đầu ra hiện tại với ví dụ trong issue; công việc hoàn tất khi phép gán phát ra một khai báo dựa trên require mà vẫn giữ lại import hiện có.
