Rename symbol implicitly imported from internal library in TypeScript
I have a module where I'm using Element class implicitly imported from the "dom" internal library.
However, in the same module I want to define an Element class of my own. This of course leads to a name collision and a world of pain.
is there a way to rename the implicit Element class from the DOM library?
Ideally, I would like something like this:
import * as DOM from 'dom'; // <-- what do I write here?
class Element { // <-- my element
private element: DOM.Element; // <-- reference to the original DOM element
}
typescript import rename

The only solution I've found so far is to define a custom type pointing to the original DOM symbol:
type DOMElement = Element;
namespace Acme {
class Element {
private element: DOMElement;
}
}
The idea here is to hide my custom Element class inside of a namespace and reference the DOM Element indirectly using custom type.
However, a better approach would be highly appreciated.
