Declaring an async method in a typescript module

Question

I'm trying to write a type definitions file for an npm module so everything I'm doing is within a declare module 'module-name' {} block. One of the exported members of the module is an asynchronous method. I haven't yet found a way to add it.

Does it need to be declared an async function or should the signature just be a function returning a Promise?

It should just be a function returning a Promise. The async modifier is only relevant when you are giving the function implementation.
