无法解析另一个文件中的 Typescript 模块

Question

I'm migrating my react app to typescript. It works fine now, But after adding typescript compiler and renaming files to.ts and.tsx, its throwing module not found. Any lead will be helpful. I have got the following dir structure.

| src
  | select.tsx
  | index.ts
  | WindowedSelect.tsx
  | MenuList.tsx
| demo
  | index.tsx
| webpack.config.demo.js
| webpack.config.js
| tsconfig.json
| package.json

I run demo/index ( webpack.config.demo ) for npm start command and src/index.tsx (webpack.config) for npm run build . But getting Moddule Not found error in both.

Error (npm start):

ERROR in ./demo/index.tsx
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve '../src/WindowedSelect'

Error (npm run build):

ERROR in ./src/index.ts
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './MenuList'

ERROR in ./src/index.ts
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve './WindowedSelect'

The IntelliSense works fine and navigates to corresponding files on click. I don't understand what is the issue here.

PS: apart from the module not found error, there are also several type errors as this is a js project. The plan is to gradually migrate to typescript. So how to set the default severity to "warn" for type errors?

webpack.config.js

const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
  entry: './src/index.ts',
  output: {
    filename: 'main.js',
    path: path.resolve(__dirname, 'dist'),
    libraryTarget: 'commonjs2',
  },
  module: {
    rules: [
      {
        test: /\.(ts|tsx)$/,
        exclude: /node_modules/,
        use: {
          loader: "ts-loader"
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  externals: {
    react: 'commonjs react',
    'react-dom': 'commonjs react-dom'
  },
};

Edit: tsconfig.json

Answer 1

It sounds like the issue is likely from missing to point out the resolve extensions in webpack.config . Try to add more that property:

resolve: {
  extensions: ['.ts', '.tsx', '.js', '.jsx'],    
},

Answer 2

This is what worked for me after a few hours searching:

npm install --save-dev typescript @types/node @types/react @types/react-dom @types/jest --force

Then I created a tsconfig.json file and pasted the following code:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "lib": ["dom", "dom.iterable", "esnext"],
    "allowJs": true,
    "skipLibCheck": true,
    "esModuleInterop": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
    "strict": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true,
    "module": "esnext",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "resolveJsonModule": true,
    "isolatedModules": true,
    "noEmit": true,
    "jsx": "react-jsx"
  },
  "include": ["src"]
}

Finally, I restarted the app.
