They can also resolve to [ambient module declarations](./Modules.md#ambient-modules).
Use non-relative paths when importing any of your external dependnecies.

## Wildcard module declarations

Some module loaders such as [SystemJS](https://github.com/systemjs/systemjs/blob/master/docs/overview.md#plugin-syntax)
and [AMD](https://github.com/amdjs/amdjs-api/blob/master/LoaderPlugins.md) allow non-JavaScript content to be imported.
These typically use a prefix or suffix to indicate the special loading semantics.
Wildcard module declarations can be used to cover these cases.

```ts
declare module "*!text" {
const content: string;
export default content;
}
// Some do it the other way around.
declare module "json!*" {
const value: any;
export default value;
}
```

Now you can import things that match `"*!text"` or `"json!*"`.

```ts
import fileContent from "./xyz.txt!text";
import data from "json!http://example.com/data.json";
console.log(data, fileContent);
```

There are two possible module resolution strategies: [Node](#node) and [Classic](#classic).
