How to call Typescript method in JavaScript file

Question

We have a typescript class,which contains few methods. Sample example of the TypeScript class.

 export class AppointmentListComponent implements OnInit {
    editEvent(event: IEvent): void {
        this._router.navigate(['/appointments', event.id]);
    }
 }

We want to call editEvent method from another (.js) file. How can we achieve this.

If you are working with ES6 it's pretty simple. In typescript just use import "pathToJSModule"; and you are ready to use it. This is possible because JS is a valid Typescript.

If you are not working with ES6 you can use import * as foo from "pathToFile".

That's the wrong way round. OP wants to use TypeScript code from JavaScript, not JavaScript code from TypeScript
