How to get rid of namespace during module import?

Question

Node.js

There is a /lib/Response.ts module:

export class Response {
    /* bla-bla */
}

I call it like this in /app.ts:

import Response = require('./lib/Response');

var response = new Response.Response();

And I do not like this redundant Response.Response, how to make it so that you can simply:

import Response = require('./lib/Response');

var response = new Response();

Answer 1

Why not import with the ES6 import mechanism? TypeScript supports it very well.

import {Response} from './lib/Response';
var response = new Response();

Answer 2

I like this:
Module code

function newClass (settings) {
  return new Class(settings);
}
function Class(settings){
 this.settings = settings;
}
Class.prototype.someMethod = function () {
 var _this = this;
 console.log(_this.settings);
};
module.exports = newClass;

Main program code

var classInstance = require('./classFile.js')({'some':'settings'});
classInstance.someMethod();

But the options are endless, in fact, here are a couple of good examples discussing how to design modules:
