无法解析打字稿模块

Question

I have two Typescript react modules: moduleA and moduleB .

I am trying to use a component Button.tsx from moduleA by exporting the Button.tsx in moduleB referring to this component using moduleA .

Here's the steps I am following :

1. Installing and Configuring webpack and ts-loader in moduleA .
2. creating build using webpack of moduleA .
3. configuring the webpack and ts-loader in moduleB .
4. installing moduleA in moduleB using npm install ../moduleA .

Then, I am referring the Button component in moduleB , from moduleA using:

import { Button } from "moduleA";

I am getting this error :

ERROR in C:\Users\VaibhavPC\Projects\moduleb\src\Start.tsx
./src/Start.tsx
[tsl] ERROR in C:\Users\VaibhavPC\Projects\moduleb\src\Start.tsx(2,24)
      TS2307: Cannot find module './moduleA'

Here's my package.json of moduleA :

and package.json of moduleB .

{

tsconfig.json

{

        "jsx": "react"
    },
    "include": [
        "./src/**/*.tsx",
        "./src/**/*.ts"
    ],
    "exclude": [
        "node_modules"
    ]
}

folder structure:

├── dist
├── node_modules
├── src
├── package.json
├── webpack.config.js
├── tsconfig.json

Is there any other way to do it?

Answer 1

This is because the package that is being used as a dependency is broken.

moduleA looks for the button in the wrong place. The package.json has the main property set to "main.js" . When the package is used, it tries to find the main.js file in the root directory. But according to your folder structure it does not exist.

As a verification step, go to moduleB 's node_modules folder and open moduleA , is there a main.js inside the folder?

It shouldn't exist because tsconfig has outDir set to "./dist" . The solution would be to change moduleA 's main to "./dist/main.js"
