VSCode cannot locate path in Angular project

Question

I am using VSCode to learn about the library ngx-bootstrap.

The problem I am having however is that VSCode cannot recognize some of the paths used in the project (and I can't either!)

For example, in one file, some code is imported from 'ngx-bootstrap/component-loader' yet there is no directory by that name anywhere, let alone relative to the file in question. ( GitHub link here )

My question is, how does this code work when the file references do not?

Answer 1

The problem was that npm install did not run correctly.

Once I got it running properly, the problem disappeared
