How do I use AWS sdk definitions for TypeScript?

I think a more appropriate way to do this is

import { <ServiceName> } from 'aws-sdk';

for instance

import { DynamoDB } from 'aws-sdk';

followed by

this.client = new DynamoDB(); in the class.

I say it is more appropriate because it uses TypeScript's import syntax.

Also, there's a clear explanation - by AWS - on how to use TS with AWS SDK here.

Change to :

import AWS = require('aws-sdk'); 
var ses:AWS.SES = new AWS.SES();

Note: if import is unclear you probably want to read up on modules : https://basarat.gitbooks.io/typescript/content/docs/project/modules.html

TIP: always a good idea to see the test file for intended usage : https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/aws-sdk/aws-sdk-tests.ts
