How to import module in the current project from different Directory in Angular 2 Typescript

Question

In The above image angular2-template is my Angular 2 project. I have defined ContactModule in the common-template folder. How can I import ContactModule from common-template into angular2-template ?

Answer 1

You can't import anything outside of /src/...
that is because the angular2 compiler doesn't look for anything higher than the src folder.
You could however copy the ContactModule from the common-template folder into /angular2-template/src/app and move implement it into your component/module of choice.

For example: move /common-module/commonModuleFolder to /angular2-template/src/app/modules/commonModuleFolder

Then you can go into for example AppComponent and import it like this:
import CommonModule from './modules/commonModuleFolder/common.module'
