Current behaviour

What is actually happening?
When I try doing es6 module import on the browser using import io from 'socket.io-client'
For some reason it comes from a typescript definition file and the browser says the module is not found. I am trying to get intellisense working for socket.io itself but none of the code inside socket.io.js in socket.io-client/dist/ is showing up on intellisense

Steps to reproduce (if the current behaviour is a bug)

Remake socket.io-client into a es6 module format by using the export syntax.
Note: the best way (and by that we mean the only way) to get a quick answer is to provide a failing test case by forking the following fiddle.

Expected behaviour

What is expected?
For socket.io.js to automatically load intellisense

Setup

• OS: Windows 10
• browser: Chrome and all others
• socket.io version: 2.3.0

I found out why a long while ago anyway, thats because the code that is embedded into the browser is actually a bundled version of all the modules in the lib folder of the socket.io-client, so basically, you just need to import them as a module and use webpack. The intellisense actually comes from a ts declaration file but webpack can let you import modules from the node_modules folder as the name of the folder in node_modules and even though the module uses module.exports, you can still use the es6 import method for some reason

Is this fixed in v3.0.0?
