title: Getting to jQuery plugins to "see" jQuery in TypeScript
body: <p>In my <code>main.ts</code> file I have jQuery imported and the plugin required like so:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/// &lt;reference path="../../../typings/tsd.d.ts" /&gt;
  
  import * as $ from 'jquery';
  require('./vendors/tablesaw');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works as expected, everything is bundled correctly (using webpack), but the plugin throws a <code>$ is not defined</code> error, so the question is how do I get it to "see" jQuery as it's been imported? </p>
