            "error",
            "backtick"
        ]
  }
}

import moment = require('moment');

Expected Result

Should not produce any error

Actual Result

produces an error, and fix will cause typescript compilation to fail as back ticks are not valid in a require statement.

Additional info
When you need to import from old modules that use the following syntax

export = ...

You must use

import moment = require('moment');

to import them, and the rule alerts on those.
