Using realative paths in Angular: Cannot find module

Question

Helloo, I am trying to import a class from a different component in Angular. But I keep getting error the Error:

Cannot find module './app/_services/modal.service' or its corresponding type declarations.

My import statement looks like this

 import {ModalService} from './app/_services/modal.service';

My directory tree looks like this, I am trying to go from the chatcomponent to _services:

• src
  • /app
    • /_services
    • /chat-app
      • /chat/chatcomponent.ts

Answer 1

You should start the import path from src folder src/app/_services/modal.service or you should move back two folders so to reach _services folder ../../_services/modal.service
